Mighty impressive. Lighter expression reflects the vintage (cf. Monte Bello, Mount Eden, etc.) Nice level of maturity, showing a touch of tobacco and black currant, with the classic barberry SCM signature. Lovely.

'07 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (SCM) barrel sample This includes 20% La Questa Vineyard. Nose - Rich, dusty, black currant and blackberry, hint of peppercorn. Grippy. Nice classic black currant and cedar. This is a flawless epitome of classic SCM Cab. Tight structure and not showing a great deal of complexity at the moment, this is a wine that will reward 20 years in the cellar. (93-95)
