Review Date: 12/2015Lastly, the 2013 Proprietary Red Blend High Fidelity, which is their most powerful wine at 15.2% natural alcohol, is a blend of 50% Merlot, 29% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot. This might not be as nuanced and complex as some of the other wines, but it’s big, powerful, juicy, rich and full. The color is dense purple and the finish quite long. I think more nuance will emerge as this wine has bottle age. This is impressive for sure. (RP) 95+

Another gorgeous, exuberant wine, the 2013 High Fidelity exudes richness. Plump and open-knit, especially for the year, the 2013 is full of personality. Raspberry jam, mocha, spice and new leather meld together in a succulent, nuanced wine that delivers the goods big time. Today, the 2013 is dense, powerful and explosive. Accordingly, it should be cellared for at least a few years. This is a terrific showing from Cliff Lede and winemaker Chris Tynan. High Fidelity is a blend of 50% Merlot, 29% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Petit Verdot from Twin Peaks in Stags Leap and Madrona Ranch. (AG) 94+

Powerfully built and wrapped in a silky texture, with aromas of cherry, mocha and bell pepper, and dense, complex flavors of currant and grilled sweet anise. (TF, Web-2016)
