Rudd Samantha's 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville USA Château Pichon-Longueville Baron with sweet vanilla notesA bold, assertive style that packs in a lot of flavor, with dense dark berry, mocha, mineral, cedar and loamy earth notes driving the core flavors. Though big and rowdy, there's a measure of finesse and suppleness here that moves to the forefront. 92 Pts Wine Spectator
