1973 vintage. Okay fill. Opened with a Durand. Cork 80% saturated. Musty, hot, slightly “raisined” nose. Light medium body. Drank more like a Burgundy at this stage of life. Amplifying savory aspects currently. Definitely instructive and an absolute blast to hit the FLB (Friday Lunch Bunch) with. These formative, ancient Napa Cabs always so revealing, primal and archival. The 1973 cork a little longer than those short stuff 1968 and 1969 ones. 6.12.26. — 5 days ago

2013 vintage!! The BV Rutherford never disappoints - so smooth and the ever present “dust”. Outstanding. — 4 months ago

Trying it again with more attention. Last tasting was at a party and it was the last wine. Old, old wine. Pretty rusty and old looking. Smells like old books and cooked berry products. Flavors are more interesting. Some complex berry notes. Dusty cherry. Strange mossy or forestal thing in the finish. This is pretty interesting stuff. Probably an amazing vineyard that is making $500 bottles now… — 6 months ago

The insight that breathing this wine is a must was respected and the difference in my initial sip to 30 minutes later was validation of the recommendation!

This wine has so much potential! 2021 is a great vintage for this region! This wine presents with plenty of smoke! Anything else is muted! I would love to taste this in another 5 years.⁰ — 3 months ago

My father has a case of these 1983 BV in his father’s wine collection. Have sat undisturbed for a few decades since my grandfather passed. Opened this for Easter dinner if braised lamb shanks. Had some cork breakage but decanted and let it breathe… it was quite delicious! Looking forward to drinking the rest of his collection! — 4 years ago

Cherries, sandalwood and white pepper on the nose. Lovely expression on the palate, with notes of red and black fruits, overripe cherries and brown sugar. Very well done - burger and wine night at Capital Grille, Paramus.
