Pella Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, USA
#AgedWineTuesday
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Beautiful nose and very complex.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and fruit forward with nice complexity.
Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, dark chocolates, toast, cedar, light vanilla, spices, coffee, licorice, light earth, black tea and black pepper.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 18 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now. Elegant and rich. Complex and fruit forward.
Drinking at its peak, and will continue to do so in the next 5 to 7 years. The high alcohol is well integrated by now.
Needed 2 hours to open up properly, and it's worth the wait, so be patient.
This Single Vineyard Cabernet is a wonderful sipping wine, that will also pair nicely with food.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in all new French oak barrels for 24 months. A tiny production of 1,000 bottles.
14.8% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
$100.

This 17-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now. Powerful and spicy. Elegant, complex and fruit forward.
Well balanced and rich, but not extracted. Alcohol is nicely integrated by now. Delicious and engaging.
I've had a few vintages of this wine, and this is my favorite vintage so far.
Showing a very complex nose, that I really loved smelling on for a while. I love this kind of wines.
Needs 2 hours in the decanter to open up properly and show its beauty.
Peking now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
A fantastic wine. Spicy and interesting. A great sipping wine that is a joy to drink by itself.
