2005 Rutherford Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Franklin VineyardNapa Valley more |
2/27/2012 - miller3324 wrote: NRLoads of structure and tannin. While the oak was evident, the wine was very restrained and showed some spice and cigar box. Would love to follow this over a few years but it is my only bottle. Future seems bright. |
