A classic BV dominated by Rutherford Cabernet with blends of merlot and petit Verdot that smooths and softens. Good berry taste but subtle.

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!
Cherry and mildly dry. 2013 vintage

2015 Vintage. Opened too soon very tight and tannic. Didn’t taste any fruit. Potential is there will open another bottle in a few years at least.

A rich, smooth red blend. Very easy to drink.

An homage to the "Maestro" André Tchelistcheff, the wine is made from Cabernet Sauvignon as well as a bit of Merlot and Petit Verdot sourced from their original vineyard in Rutherford acquired in 1900. Although fleshy and round with generous French oak influence, it's not without subtlety. I love BV's classic take on Napa Cabernet.

Apr 23rd, 2017This Cabernet is blended with Merlot and Petite Verdot. It pairs better with food than alone, where it seems to have a strong middle of Malbec. The oak is nice but for retail price of $75, you can do better. We paid $61.78 with our club discounts. Even with the discount, it's still overpriced.
