Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 1995
Not dead, but the old cinnamon-cherry plum tart nose turns a slight rot of tropical compost and black banana pudding. Cedar-smoked cranberry sauce, dusty grape skins and wet clove. Finishes muddy with a little tar. Past it's time by a tiny margin. #BV #rutherford #napacabbootlickers #napacabs — 8 years ago

Winemaker's Collection Clone 6 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 1997
The nose was complex and exciting with living fruit and tasty earth balance. Unfortunately the palate was a little flabby and lacked the structure to lift the wine up. #bv #beaulieuvineyards #clone6 #cabernetsauvignon #napavalley — 9 years ago

Clone 4 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
So freaking big! Very heavily extracted. I don't think this wine will age much more than 5 more years. There is plenty of fresh fruit and seductive richness, but nothing is in balance. however, it's delicious. #clone4 #beaulieuvineyard #bv #cabernetsauvignon #napavalley #rutherford — 9 years ago

Perfect now. Lovely, elegant, but still rich. Great balance. Took 15-20 min to really sing. I wish more Napa cabs were made like this. #BV #GeorgesDeLatour 1997 — 4 years ago
