2013 Keplinger "Caldera" El Dorado Mourvedre Blend (750ml)

93 points Vinous

The 2013 Caldera is dark, bold and punchy. Sweet dark cherries, cloves, mint, sweet spices and menthol race across the palate in a beautifully perfumed, gracious Mourvèdr-based red long on class. Sage, lavender, violet and a host of blue flower/savory notes add sweetness on the close. The 2013 was done with fully destemmed fruit. (AG)  (9/2015)

Loaded with personality, this offers distinctive aromas of melted black licorice, blackberry and lead pencil. Shows great focus and structure, delivering powerful flavors of black raspberry, smoky pepper beef and mineral. Big tannins frame the finish. Mourvèdre, Grenache and Counoise. Drink now through 2027.
