Same comments. Love this wine. This bottle a bit tight and acidic at the open, but after an hour opened up beautifully.

2016 vintage, drank April 2022. This wine just continues to impress. Really wish they still made it. Black and red fruit blended so perfectly. Super smooth tannins now with just the right backbone to hold the oak, vanilla, leather, minerality, and dust together. Amazing finish! One of my favorites for sure.

2016 vintage in November 2021. Same comments as before. But just wanted to say this is one of my favorite wines. The fruit is fantastic, the structure is solid, the mouthfeel and finish are solid. It’s just an amazing all around wine!

Once again I am reviewing the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Cuvée, 100 cases. I was looking forward to having this one a second time. Nose is a bit shy. But wow what a mouthfeel. Big fruit but far from too ripe. It’s elegant and silky in the mouth. Beautifully ripe blackberries, plum, maybe black cherries, baking spices, milk chocolate, licorice. Great structure with mild earthiness, nice acidity, and nice tannins. Great long finish. This exceeded my expectations once again. So glad I’ve got a case more.
