Screaming Eagle, Cabernet Sauvignon other_regions and the 2013 Barolo RiservaSmoky, black and blue fruit, flowers and wet earth open up the nose. On the palate, the wine is fresh, sweet, bright, but not crisp. It displays more of a lush, silky character. Full bodied, long, fresh and with multiple levels of depth, the fruits are sweet, but retain their vibrancy, finishing with dark chocolate, plum and cassis notes that really stick with you.
