Natalie's Score: 92/100

A chalk dry, full-bodied Californian red wine with firm tannins. Aromas of dried herbs, blackcurrant and cassis with pepper. The wine was aged 24 months in French oak barrels. This aromatic Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon shows its cool climate roots with great vibrancy. The 2013 vintage of the Cabernet Sauvignon Archimedes needs cellar time. The wine is named after the Greek mathematician Archimedes who nearly 2,000 years ago established the laws of physics still used today. Archimedes' principle, a law of physics, indicates that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Pair with prime rib and star gazing.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: barbecued steak, grilled lamb chops, Asian chicken salad, pork tenderloin.

Reviews and Ratings

Lots of character on this Cabernet Sauvignon from cooler climate Alexander Valley in Sonoma County, California. Francis Ford Coppola's Archimedes (2013) was so named after the Greek mathematician, Archimedes, who established the laws of physics that we know today and is based on the physics law that a buoyant force exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. But does that mean we get more wine? Drink now or cellar for 10 years. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
