Tasting notes
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Lazy Susan Ranch, also 100% Cabernet Sauvignon coming from clones 33 and 169 and slightly higher yields of 1.5 tons of fruit per acre, is an even smaller cuvée of 145 cases. The wine emerges from a different parcel of red Aiken iron-rich soils, as opposed to the volcanic tufa and fractured bedrock of its sibling. This wine offers loads of cedar wood, crme de cassis, licorice and forest floor in a full-bodied, opulent style. The fruit is beautifully pure, the oak well-integrated, and the wine gorgeous. It’s top, top-flight, clearly world-class and should drink well for 20-25 years.

The 2013 LSR Lazy Susan Ranch emerges from the younger vines on the estate and takes the original name of this rugged hillside property. Rich, powerful and explosive, with superb mineral-driven persistence and fabulous balance, the Lazy Susan captures the personality of the vintage to the fullest. With time in the glass the 2013 becomes more and more nuanced, showing exceptional class and tons of personality. Dark red and black fleshed fruit, iron, smoke and gravel meld into the deep, inky finish. The Lazy Susan isn't a second wine - nor is it priced like one - but it is fabulous in its own right.
