Way too young; opened in honor of a friend. Big bold black fruit up front, savory herbs, cedar, and tobacco are rounded out with complex tannins and a long finish of smoke and iron ore. Can't wait to see where this one goes in a few years.

Red fruit, balanced, but could use some decanting. Very good with a sharp cheese

Soft, creamy, yet cabby. Smell of cut grass, cherry, ink, and leather. All softer versions than normal. A metallic taste, but it's ok, it works. The alcohol at the end is less harsh than a usual Cabernet. Always pleased with wines from Rutherford.
