Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford is deep garnet-purple colored. It springs from the glass with perfumed red and black cherry notions, followed by hints of red currant jelly, warm cassis, lilacs, kirsch and boysenberries plus wafts of fallen leaves, pencil shavings and Marmite toast. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has great intensity with stacks of savory nuances and a chewy texture, finishing long and refreshing. 175 cases were made.

A seductive style, offering creamed plum and blackberry fruit melded with perfumy black tea, loam and singed alder hints. Shows a very silky feel through the finish, while maintaining a sense of density and weight. Drink now through 2030. 175 cases made.??–JM??Region: California / Napa / Rutherford Select to Add
