Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, USA
Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove.
Celebrating 10,000 reviews on Vivino, with this fabulous wine.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose of black fruits, chocolates, coffee, cola, vanilla, licorice, cedar and black pepper.
Full-bodied and bold with medium acidity.
Dry and fruit forward on the palate with black currants, blackberries, black plums, figs, dried fruits, coffee, chocolates, tobacco, peppercorn, herbs, light vegetables, earth and black tea.
Long finish with round tannins, cherries and spices.
This 9 year old Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is still very young, but already drinking beautifully. Rich, yet elegant. Fruit forward and smooth.
This Single Vineyard Cabernet is showing lots of chocolate and cola notes. Soft, with great complexity.
Feels like a high quality Left Bank Bordeaux.
Delicious stuff, that will continue to age nicely in the next 20+ years.
Wine Spectator 96 points. Wine Advocate 99 points.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 3 hours of airtime. The high alcohol is nicely integrated already.
It's always nice to drink these kind of iconic wines. A great sipping wine.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Aged for 22 months in (80% new) French Oak barrels. Unfiltered and unfined.
15% alcohol by volume.
95 points.
$900.

Tons of fruit: red and black cherry, raspberry, and some jam. Easy to drink now but could age longer. Well integrated tannins, long finish, and very complex

Just a baby but really improved on the last glass. Tons of black fruits. Tannins are pronounced but not bitter. Incredible finish for miles.
