2013 Cabernet Sauvignon & Malbec heavy-Deep, dark berries...black currants, black cherries- flesh of empress plum, savory herbs & wet tobacco leaf...touches of white pepper in front of palate... too many descriptors to add...
Ectremely deep with tons of structure... an incredible taste now; with time - unbelievable! Definitely Decant- or allow the aromas to invite you for its' immediate sip...

Not Samantha's SB, which happens to be one of my favorites. This amazing Estate Cab Sauv based is just re-released. Amazing herbal and spice with a deep, full mid-palate. Dark berries with loads of tea and tobacco notes that dances on my palate...
Full, but not heavy... just enough bottle age and enough fruit...thinking to have Braised Pork Belly and Lentils...keeping it simple...
