Long Meadow Ranch
Reserve Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, USA
This wine is a babe - shame to open so early. As such, it's hard to discern much - even after being opened for a day. Getting wet stones, tart cherry juice and boysenberry. Would love to revisit in 5, 10 years. Isn't a massive wine, and I can see this mellowing out nicely. But for now almost resembles a barrel sample.

Earthy and minty. Quite herby/sage for a cab.

Pinot Noir-esque. It's good but unusual for a cab.
