Miner Family The Oracle Napa Valley 2013 375ml

91 points and 'Cellar Selection,' Wine Enthusiast: "[$100/750ml list] Sourced primarily from Stagecoach Vineyard on Atlas Peak and blended with a small amount of Oakville Vineyard grapes, this is a blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Cabernet Franc, with small percentages of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Big, tannic and overpowering in its youth, it reveals hints of cedar, pencil shavings and sage, with a rich black-cherry core. Enjoy 2023–2033. Alcohol 14.5%. (Mar 2018)"

Producer notes: "57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc, 17% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec. Miner Family’s flagship wine, a full-bodied, single vineyard red blend, grants a nod toward elegance for the 2013 vintage. This Bordeaux-style blend is silky, reserved and supremely balanced. Lush aromatics of raspberry and dark cherry with a hint of eucalyptus, The Oracle is decadent, but with finesse. Earthiness and layers of dried flowers and cocoa integrate harmoniously into a finely balanced marriage between tannin and acid, providing the structure that ensures, like all impeccable beauties, this wine is sure to age gracefully."
