2022 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes
Deeply hued and richly expressive, this Cabernet opens with a pristine nose of luxurious dark berries, cassis, and finely integrated French oak. The palate is sleek and polished, showcasing layers of graphite, vanilla bean, and cracked black pepper. Full-bodied yet remarkably balanced, it glides effortlessly across the palate with refined tannins and a long, harmonious finish. A quintessential Rutherford Cabernet: elegant, powerful, and built to age.

Tasting Notes: Ripe and savory with aromas of stewed plums, cassis, dried herbs, cocoa and cedar. The palate is full-bodied and round with chewy tannins and generous fruit. Bold with a firm, dry finish. Drink or hold.

Tasting Notes: The disappointing 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Heir Apparent Rutherford is rather light in hue, with odd, sardine-like and coffee bean aromas only partially offset by tart cherries. It's medium- to full-bodied, with initially silky tannins that turn overly astringent on the finish.
