"Boasting a deep, rich garnet color, inviting a deeper exploration of its complex aromas and flavors. On the nose, this Cabernet exudes a luxurious bouquet of dark fruits like blackcurrant and black cherries, elegantly intertwined with refined notes of cedar, tobacco, and a hint of bell pepper, providing a sophisticated depth. The palate is robust and full-bodied, featuring a luxurious texture and layers of juicy blackberry and plum, complemented by the iconic 'Rutherford Dust' earthiness and well-integrated oak influences that impart subtle notes of vanilla and spice. The tannins are firm yet polished, providing a solid structure that promises good aging potential, while the finish is long and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of elegance and richness." —winemaker
