Parker’s Greatest Napa Valley Vtg in 37 Years: Carl Roy “East Side” Outpoints Frog's Leap and Clos du Val

As is the case up and down the Silverado Trail, this new release of the 2013 “East Side Cuvée” — from a vintage Robert Parker compares to the voluptuous and still youthful 2001 — leaves even the spectacular 2012 in the dust.

Robert Parker called 2013 “one of the most epic and awesome vintages” in the history of Napa Valley, making for Cabernet Sauvignons that “are powerful, rich and concentrated, extremely well-delineated, and will be extremely long-lived, eclipsing even the aging potential of the 2012s.”

That’s certainly the case with the 2013 “East Side Cuvée,” drawn from two rocky parcels on the valley floor east of the town of St. Helena and catapulting Carl Roy into the rarefied air of the Silverado Trail elite.

The 2013 Carl Roy Cabernet Sauvignon East Side Cuvée is opaque purple in color. Voluptuous aromas of blackberry, mountain blueberry, violets, and graphite, braced with new-wood cedar. Terrifically concentrated, dense, and compact, yet still somewhat back on its heels at this stage in its life, slowly peeling away layers of black- and red-fruit preserves, finishing with sturdy, dusty-tannin backbone. Drink now for its primary-fruit hedonism, or do as we’re doing. It could surely use the rest.
