First experience with Stormy Weather, figured I'd start with the 2nd bottling to see where it stood. This was a great bottle, no formal notes but definitely one of the better 2013 cabs I've had to date. Can't wait to dive into my other SW wines. Two more bottles of the Northern Gale.

Lighter style despite 15%abv. Light crimson color, clear through. Red fruit dominates, became softer and more expressive with time and air. Recommend 2hr plus decant if drinking now. Good to hold for 5 years.

In a really nice place right now. Sad it's my last bottle but it was the best one yet.

Very good after plumping up from some air time, but a poor QPR..

Lite bodied. Not like Stormy Weather. More Bordeaux like in style. Very pleasant. Decanted for two hours.
