This Merlot with a splash of Cabernet is a near perfect expression of this terroir, delivering on the expected dark cherry fruits and lingering thick chewy mocha tannins. This is a great cocktail wine, due to the idiosyncratic Rutherford Dust.

Nakedwines.com It was ok. Needs time to breath. I would drink again, but wouldn’t necessarily go looking for it.

Good mix of berry fruit on the nose and palate. Medium tannins and relatively smooth for a young vintage. Had this over the day and enjoyed sipping as it opened up more.

2014 vintage - bordering on a port style wine at 15%. Dark berries and chocolate. Again, please don't believe the hype from Mr. Weil. He's a payed employee/consultant for Naked Wines. It's a good wine but nowhere even close to a 'near perfect expression' of a Napa Valley wine nor a Napa Valley red blend.
