2008 Rudd Samantha's Cabernet Sauvignon

"The 2008 Samantha’s (formerly called Crossroads) is a blend of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with 14% Cabernet Franc and small quantities of Merlot and Petit Verdot. Normally 600-800 cases are produced from their estate. Its dense purple color is followed by abundant aromas of creme de cassis, sweet licorice, charcoal and earth." - Wine Advocate
