Tasting notes
Glass-staining purple. Intense smoke- and spice-accented aromas of fresh dark berries, vanilla and potpourri, with a hint of licorice in the background. At once ripe and vibrant, offering penetrating blackberry and blueberry flavors that become rounder with air. Pliant tannins give shape and grip to a strikingly long, smooth finish dominated by flowers and dark berries.

A candidate for the wine of the vintage, the inky colored 2013 My Favorite Neighbor Proprietary Blend is a heavenly blend of 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Petit Verdot and 29% Syrah that spent 18 months in French oak. Thrillingly pure, layered, unctuous and massively concentrated, it exhibits classic notes of blueberries, violets, black raspberries, spice and graphite. These give way to a full-bodied, seamless and layered 2013 that has building tannin, incredible purity of fruit and a blockbuster finish. Give it a year or two and enjoy bottles through 2025.
