The score for 2013 Force Majeure Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain AVA is 93 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - A classic Washington State Cabernet, the 2013 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a medium to full-bodied, elegant and vibrant effort that offers lots of violets, cassis, and spring flower-like aromas and flavors. It shows more classic lead pencil aromas and flavors with time in the glass, has a polished, streamlined profile, building tannin, and will keep for two decades.
