96 RP. "The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon French Wedding is another blockbuster with an inky/purple color, but with slightly softer tannins than the Boulder Falls or the Bear Crossing. Sweet and rich, with notes of crème de cassis, charcoal, graphite and spice box, this full-bodied, thick, juicy Cabernet Sauvignon will be ready to drink in 7-8 years. Unlike its siblings, Boulder Falls and Bear Crossing, this should only have 30+ years of aging potential! Delectus Winery is going against the prevailing winds in trying to make wines for future generations. Kudos to them. Delectus must be one of the last to bottle their wines, as all of these were bottled toward the end of December 2015. They are all relatively small production cuvées, ranging from a high of 527 cases for the French Wedding Cabernet Sauvignon, 427 cases for the Boulder Falls to a lowly 176 cases for the Cabernet Franc."
