(Hewitt Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon) #4; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-dark; NOSE-the Oak Monster makes an appearance (I'm a little concerned); TASTE-this wine is GINORMOUS; very big; very heavy Oak flavors (vanilla, cedar box); a very popular style (if you’re a fan of Caymus, Silver Oak & Cakebread, you will like this); I feel like I'm eating a piece of wood; "there's no problem w/ a little wood in your mouth"; BUT -- I am astounded this wine is able to be somewhat polished & balance w/ this much exaggerated oak; very vanilla & cedar box driven; enormous weight; can't ignore the gorgeous raspberries; this wine will develop over the next 10-15 years; pull out a Fred Flintstone knock your car over steak for this wine; not my cup of tea, but for those who like this style, they will love this; BUT I will likely buy a few of these and put them away; WS-94; GV-89
