Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, USA
1.5+hr decant. Dark red color with hints of rust and purple. Lovely nose of dark cherries and cedar, which is the highlight. Great texture but restrained and thinning. Starts out like a nice Bordeaux then turns into a classic Napa Cab then becomes very average mid palate. So much promise but doesn’t deliver. Needs more depth and flavor. As the wife said, very nice but probably a ~$50 bottle not an ~$85+.

This is not your typical 2012 Rutherford cab. It is lighter in color but still full of depth. It's Bordeauxish with full black fruit Flavors with a hint of earth and chocolate. The Silky tannins and medium body really make this garnet colored cab approachable now. Big up front with a lingering finish.

Well balanced with expressive ref and dark fruit aromas and notes of boysenberry and chocolate. Silky tannins
