Platinum Reserve Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, USA
It’s a new new economy so I grabbed this to budget down while hunkering down. I had low expectations and they were exceeded! At $14.99 you even get a bit of Rutherford dust.

This Napa Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon is not showing as well as I excepted.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, herbs, toast, vegetables, earth, bitter herbs, peppercorn, pencil lead and dark coffee.
Medium plus in body with a short finish. Fine grained tannins.
Bitter on the mid palate.
Might need a couple of years in the bottle to mature and remove those bitter, earthy notes.
14.6% alcohol by volume.
86 points.
$15.

Very easy drinking, full-bodied with soft tannins. Bold as expected from a Rutherford cab.

Good but not as good as tjoes claims for platinum. A little too thin and tart.
