95 THE TASTING PANEL, MERIDITH MAY

“...This is a bold, adventurous red, firm tannins take hold, but the palate remains round, its no-edge seamlessness translating as pure pleasure. ”

Best Rutherford Wines of 2018: Pine needles, charcoal embers and cracked black pepper aromas. As with the Sage Ridge Cabernet, this achieves a modern-Napa opulence without losing sight of authenticity and typicity. There are Rutherford wines at two-three times the price of this that don’t feel as rooted in the vineyard they came from, making this a relative value. Drink 2022 - 2040 (ML)
