Nice, but body seemed to be thin, not what I have experienced with other Pine Ridge Rutherfords. Had a Pineridge Tessitura afterwards and it had much more body. This vintage may be nearing or past its peak, will target remaining bottles for near term consumption.

Still going strong. Fruit is the star here as there was some complexity but definitely nuanced. Mixture of dark and red fruit that was very pure with nice structure to keep it lively. Could tell it was valley floor in its opulence vs. a hillside wine we drank afterwards.

A little restrained on the nose, but the palate is outstanding. Mature red and black fruits, the faintest hint of earth, and velvety tannins with a long close. Excellent.

Decanted for two hours. Very soft mouthfeel. A lot of cherry/black cherry notes. Rich, but not cloying or overpowering.
