To start on Delectable my favorite wine so far. This is Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, & Merlot. 2011 Vintage was more herbal and gamey. Overall: Concord grape, cigar box, humid cedar, sage, plum, dry. To me the fruit balances the tannin tremendously. Personally preferred the 2011 over the 2013 but both great.
