This is a prototypical Rutherford Napa cab. It has all the stuff you want from the AVA. The nose was filled with dark cherries, raspberry, violet, and a hint of leather. The palate is medium bodied, rich, not too extracted, and on the tail end you really get a taste of that Rutherford "dust" everyone talks about. The finish is nice is smooth and the alcohol while present is not really noticeable. Overall this is a great Napa cabernet and really highlights Rutherford and the good wines that come out of the area. At its peak drinking window now.
