This Cabernet is finely balanced, walking a tightrope between richness, structure, and vibrancy of flavors. Aromas are well mixed between rich blackfruits with black raspberry, boysenberry and black cherry leading the way, but has pleasant, surprising lifted notes of red plum, red currant jam and peppery Pomegranate. Subtle back notes of tobacco, cedar and finishes with that dusty tannin that makes Rutherford Cabernet so famous. Delicious now or cellar near term over the next 3-5 years.-Keith
