2020 Rutherford Estate Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L
100% Cabernet Sauvignon from our Rutherford Estate Vineyard
Tasting Notes:
This is 100% Rutherford Estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon and the pure version of the best Cab that is later blended to create The David. With only 10 barrels produced this is a famous Clone 7 that bares the historic bloodlines of Château Margaux. The nose is a tad more intense and richer than The Rutherford Estate David, pleasantly so from a being pure Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromatics of chocolate-covered espresso beans unfold into blackberry jam and slate. Flavors are powerful yet incredibly balanced, reminiscent of German chocolate cake with black puree fruit filling. The finish is lengthy and viscous. A classic Napa creation that should drink well for 10-15 years.
