Thursday, January 17, 2013 - Decanted 60 min, improved over the evening with air.
Nose: Very Rutherford in nature, sweet spice up front with a bit of heat.
Mid-Palate: Lithe smoky cherry with dusty tones with hints of loam and strawberry.
Finish: Persistent finish, with long rich tannins. Classis Napa dust.
Good value, would buy again. Very similar to Mondavi's Rutherford offering.
