Top Notes For
Jay Kline

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2017 “Rutherford Dust” pours a deep garnet/purple with an opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of black currants, brambles, plum, tobacco, grilled Poblano, purple flowers and fine baking spices. In the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Drink now through 2037. Bottle No. 1965
