This 5 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder in Napa Valley is drinking beautifully already, although needs a few years to reach its peak.

Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel. Rich and extracted, yet elegant. Fruit forward and engaging.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 95 point wine.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will also pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.

A blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, 1% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot.

15.1% alcohol by volume.

The label I read showed 2019, my host assured me that it was 2021.

The 2021 coming along nicely and showing some beautiful development. Because of its nice integration, I believe this really was 2019. 🤷‍♂️ — 4 months ago

Big flavors competing for first chair, but all playing at equal volume. Cassis, blueberry, eucalyptus, saddle leather, cacao nibs, vanilla, and sweet tobacco. All this with poise, balance, and such a velvety mouthfeel. The finish is long and laden with Ludens. Very good!

One of our favorites wineries, this vintage is a bit drier and lighter than the 2020 (which we preferred slightly better), probably a bit young to open, best if paired with a well seasoned and juicy/fatty steak. — a year ago

9.2

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim, and medium plus intensity.

Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and complex.

Showing sweet raspberries, cherries, red currants, light oak, spices, chocolates and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Zinfandel from Oakville in Napa Valley. Rich, fruit forward and entertaining. Elegant and interesting.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. The high alcohol is not too noticeable at this point.

Right out of the bottle it feels like a light Napa Cabernet, but gets into its own after 2 hours in the decanter, when more red fruits show up, and it feels more like a Zinfandel. So interesting.

This Single Vineyard Zinfandel is easy drinking and a great sipping wine. A good party wine too.

This is a young Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Already drinking beautifully, but needed 3 hours to open up properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

Fruit forward with nice complexity and a nice mouthfeel. Interesting and entertaining.

Robert Parker 90 points. Wine Enthusiasts 93 points.

2021 vintage. PNP. Nose waay nicer than the flavors currently but ended up being a relatively solid effort for the price. No complaints. Maybe the gorgeous bouquet complexity marries into the flavors family at some point in the next 5-10 years? Twould be nice. 01.17.26. — 9 months ago

9.2

The Rutherford Hill Napa Merlot (2021) reveals a deep ruby core with subtle garnet reflections, suggesting youthful vibrancy with potential for short-term development. The nose is precise and layered, offering blackberry and raspberry fruit interwoven with cedar nuances, indicative of measured oak influence.

On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with light acidity that enlivens the fruit profile while maintaining balance.

Tannins are fine-grained and unobtrusive, supporting a bright structural framework that lends clarity and poise.

The finish is clean and persistent, marked by freshness rather than weight, making this a versatile companion to dishes such as roasted chicken, grilled salmon, or semi-hard cheeses. — a year ago
