Drank 6/13/19. Tasting event. Tasting pour.
Lighter on the nose than many tasted tonight. Red fruit and a bit of black cherry scents. Soft and velvety with raspberry, black cherry, and BlackBerry. Medium tannins and finish.
Special note: this is the heaviest wine bottle I have ever felt.

With family roots to BV over decades of winemaking, the style shows in this wine. A black fruit dominant wine. The finish on this wine makes SURE you don't miss the Rutherford dust, as it is ABUNDANT. For someone wanting to learn about Classic Napa and, further, classic Rutherford wine, **THIS** is the wine to serve. This wine is right on par with Wm. Harrison for Rutherford gem deluxe. And crafted in the nuclear style. This one can hold for 20 years easily. Well done Raymond and Steve. Fantstic Napa cab.
