Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove.

Celebrating 10,000 reviews on Vivino, with this fabulous wine.

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black fruits, chocolates, coffee, cola, vanilla, licorice, cedar and black pepper.

Full-bodied and bold with medium acidity.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with black currants, blackberries, black plums, figs, dried fruits, coffee, chocolates, tobacco, peppercorn, herbs, light vegetables, earth and black tea.

Long finish with round tannins, cherries and spices.

This 9 year old Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is still very young, but already drinking beautifully. Rich, yet elegant. Fruit forward and smooth.

This Single Vineyard Cabernet is showing lots of chocolate and cola notes. Soft, with great complexity.
Feels like a high quality Left Bank Bordeaux.

Delicious stuff, that will continue to age nicely in the next 20+ years.

Wine Spectator 96 points. Wine Advocate 99 points.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 3 hours of airtime. The high alcohol is nicely integrated already.

It's always nice to drink these kind of iconic wines. A great sipping wine.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Aged for 22 months in (80% new) French Oak barrels. Unfiltered and unfined.

15% alcohol by volume.

95 points.

$900.

Bacigalupi Vineyard Chardonnay 2013

Still delicious and has changed less with age than I expected. Not sure if I should have sat on it longer. It has gotten nuttier with hazelnut becoming more prominent. Still a lot of oak and lemon, with a touch of flint and brioche. It’s β€” 23 days ago

Quintessa

Rutherford Red Blend 2017

A blend of Cab Sauvignon, Merlot, Cab Franc, and Petit Verdot, aged for 22 months in French oak (76% new). Deep Ruby color with aromas of red and black fruits, spicy notes and cedar. On the palate flavors of plums, currants, cherry and wild blackberries adding cedar and cinnamon. Fine grainy tannins, well balanced with acidity, long finish ending with fruit, cedar and slight mineral character. Nice! Tasting Sample! β€” 11 days ago

Diamond Creek Vineyards

Volcanic Hill Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1991

From 375 ml bottle...good things can come in small packages.

Double decant and pour. A still dark purplish garnet color with some bricking(decent chunky/fine sediment). On the nose: subtle brooding notes of dark fruit, currants, wet forest floor, worn leather, smokey grilled meat. Taste: creamy, elegant, balanced, savory wine with some dark cherry, earth, dark chocolate, cedar, tobacco, and a cocoa dried herb medium plus finish. YUM!
