Also consumed a few weeks ago, Gerhard Reisacher was really hitting it out of the park with his wines from the early 2000s. This one was still going strong (although I suspect it's a bit past peak). Just a hint of amber on the rim, the wine is exhibiting plenty of fruit along with secondary aromas of leather and dried cassis. Started to fade toward the end of the bottle, but just a terrific example of a cab from the Rutherford bench.
