A nice wine. Dark, bold, a touch on the sweet side.

Drinking this from an orrefers bouquet glass. I love the smell. Woodsy. First taste I didn't love. Like cherry. But I put the glass in the fridge for 30 min. Now that it's decanted and cool I taste no fruit. Makes me think of a french wine. No taste just texture. Smooth and velvety. Not pairing with any food. Dry but not too try.

Another fine Rutherford cab. Not all that interesting on the nose, but that palette really shows off the Napa roots.
