Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove.

Celebrating 10,000 reviews on Vivino, with this fabulous wine.

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black fruits, chocolates, coffee, cola, vanilla, licorice, cedar and black pepper.

Full-bodied and bold with medium acidity.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with black currants, blackberries, black plums, figs, dried fruits, coffee, chocolates, tobacco, peppercorn, herbs, light vegetables, earth and black tea.

Long finish with round tannins, cherries and spices.

This 9 year old Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is still very young, but already drinking beautifully. Rich, yet elegant. Fruit forward and smooth.

This Single Vineyard Cabernet is showing lots of chocolate and cola notes. Soft, with great complexity.
Feels like a high quality Left Bank Bordeaux.

Delicious stuff, that will continue to age nicely in the next 20+ years.

Wine Spectator 96 points. Wine Advocate 99 points.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 3 hours of airtime. The high alcohol is nicely integrated already.

It's always nice to drink these kind of iconic wines. A great sipping wine.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Aged for 22 months in (80% new) French Oak barrels. Unfiltered and unfined.

15% alcohol by volume.

95 points.

$900.

Rutherford Red Blend 1998

26 years on and still going strong. Likely doesn’t have a lot of time left. Took about 2 hours to fully open then it was all dried cherries, spice and silky tannins. — 8 days ago

Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Our Christmas dinner wine selection voted on by the table after a few tasters at The Charcoal Room in Las Vegas. A lighter mouth feel but rich in flavor if I remember correctly. A delicious addition to our meal I hope to enjoy again. May modify review upon revisiting. — 11 hours ago
