Vintage Scott McLeod! Poetry in a glass. This 2006 vintage perhaps exceeds the otherwise superlative 2007 and 2008 releases, though perhaps that is simply the recency effect. A perfect Rutherford Cab, estate grown and containing the requisite dark cherries, mocha, and dust. Perhaps my Platonic ideal for this region. Huzzah! πŸ˜ΊπŸ·πŸŽ‰

Subtle Rutherford bench fruit. Cherry and violets. Some vanilla and leather. Tannins are softening. Great way to finish a week of unusual wines and celebrate another year in the books. Another Scott McLeod work of art.

Perfect! The needed 15 minutes to open up. The fruit came out and we really enjoyed it. You get the American oak shining through. For 2001 it was great. At its peak?

Very rich and full bodied. Packed with dark fruits. Quite supple for a 2006 Napa Cab.

Wow this being 2007 really has such a silky smooth finish. Still the body off a full cab

#KWN Wine 13. Big and rich, with a lot of cherry and currant.

Full bodied. Balanced with notes of satisfying flavors of black currant and licorice.
