點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：3621

Very ripe and aromatic, throwing out cascades of inviting scents. New toasty oak dominates, with undercurrents of blackberry jam, blueberry, mocha and anise. In the mouth, huge, lush, powerful, an explosively fruity young wine, yet maintains balance and elegance. Really good. Best now–2015. ——S.H.(12/15/2006)—— 94

Exceptionally ripe and expressive even among the flamboyant 2002 Rutherfords, with a pleasing note of vanilla and char from oak, this Cab is rich in cherry fruit flavors. The tannins are sweet and fine, and sturdy enough to carry it through 2010. ——S.H.(12/15/2005)—— 90

Mint, cedar and a bit of tomato leaf accent lovely cassis fruit. Full-bodied, with a slightly dusty mouthfeel, like finely ground cinnamon or cocoa, and picking up hints of those flavors as well. Finishes clean and crisp, with soft tannins.——W.E.(7/1/2005)—— 91

Built for the cellar, with its tannins and oak dominating. Bone dry and taut, there’s little relief now through the rasping finish. The betting is on the chewy core of cherry and blackberry fruit, but a well-marbled steak will make for a good pairing.——S.H.(10/1/2004)—— 90
