Tasting notes
The 2013 Mythicus is so backward, but a wine of extraordinary intensity. Loads of tannin, massive extract, a blue/purple color, gorgeous purity and overall depth make for a compelling wine, but this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon effort is one for patient connoisseurs. Forget it for 5-7 years, and drink it over the following three decades.

Graphite, melted road tar, dark spices and black fruit are some of the signatures that emerge in the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Mythicus. Towering and vertical in the glass, the 2013 possesses magnificent intensity and overall structure. The 100% new oak gives the Mythicus much of its unctuous texture and overall gravitas. Today, the Mythicus is a bit heavy, especially next to the 2014, but it is super-expressive just the same.
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Mythicus Paradise Hills Vineyard, here in its second-ever vintage, is superb. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, leather, tobacco and incense are all nicely amplified. All the elements are so well balanced. The 2013 can be enjoyed now with a healthy decant or cellared.
