2018 VIADER “Black Label”
95 Points
The 2018 Red Blend Black Label is composed of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Syrah, 11% Malbec and 3% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, it springs from the glass with notes of blackcurrant cordial, baked plums and boysenberries plus hints of dried Provence herbs, unsmoked cigars, smoked meats and tapenade. Full-bodied, the palate delivers lovely freshness to lift all that dark, rich, seductive fruit, framed by plush tannins and finishing on a persistent peppery note
