From Rutherford, Napa Valley in California \u2013 one of the classic labels \u2013 taking part in the legendary \u2018Judgement of Paris\u2019, and making benchmark Napa Cabernet since the \u201860s. This is a blend of sites, including some of their iconic (and expensive) vineyards.<\/p>\n
A dense burgundy with flashes of magenta edging in the glass. A nose filled with crunchy dark berries, chamomile, blackcurrant, cedar bark and a flourish of spring flowers. Firm, dry and full bodied. Structure and tightness through the core, but energised with plush, sweet fruit and with a frame of fine, chewy tannin. Bright, vibrant and with a lovely flow through the palate. Smooth, textured and with a harmony that makes it very accessible and more-ish. 92pts.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From Rutherford, Napa Valley in California \u2013 one of the classic labels \u2013 taking part in the legendary \u2018Judgement of Paris\u2019, and making benchmark Napa Cabernet since the \u201860s.
