Professional Ratings

• 99 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Malbec, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, the deep garnet-purple colored 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill gives gregarious crème de cassis, baked blackberries, black cherry compote and mocha notes with touches of camphor, star anise, violets and oolong tea. Full-bodied and packing a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins, with great freshness supporting the powerful, muscular fruit, it finishes very, very long. This should live forever.

  Showing brilliantly, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill is just about pure perfection in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, offering a deep purple hue to go with a stunning array of crème de cassis, blackcurrants, chocolate, chalky minerality, graphite, and background oak. Possessing full-bodied richness, it builds incrementally on the palate and has a gorgeous mouthfeel, a dense, concentrated mid-palate, sweet tannins, and a finish that won't quit. This is still a baby, but it offers incredible amounts of pleasure. It should easily have another 30+ years of longevity.

  Amazing aromas of dark fruits but there's a soulful undertone of forest floor, sweet tobacco and leaves. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a delicious finish. Ultra-refined. So drinkable now. Harmonious and thoughtful. Elegant.
• 93 Wine Spectator
  Bold, rich and expansive, big without being weighty or oversized, this offers well-defined plum, raspberry, currant and cranberry flavors, turning elegant and refined. Ends with a graceful, polished texture. Drink now through 2030.
