A specific vintage and varietal of a notable California wine producer represents a significant expression of Napa Valley or Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The combination of the winery, year, and grape type defines a particular bottle with unique characteristics derived from the growing season and winemaking techniques. The assemblage signifies a product intended for consumption and/or cellaring, appreciated by enthusiasts and collectors.
This type of wine is often associated with high quality, a consistent house style, and the potential for aging. Its value stems from the reputation of the winery, the characteristics of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, and the specific conditions of the 2013 vintage. Such bottles can offer a glimpse into the terroir of the vineyard and the expertise of the winemakers. Historically, wines of this nature have been considered investments and celebratory beverages.
