  Nice big cab from N&N. Berry fruit was vivid, along with a touch of Rutherford dust on the finish. The wine paired well with grilled tenderloin steak.

  Ruby in color with a short reddish/purple rim.
  
  Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
  
  Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, figs, dried fruits, raisins, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, licorice, light earth and peppercorn.
  
  Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
  
  This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Rutherford. Big, bold and elegant. Showing a soft mouthfeel with nice complexity.
  
  Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.
  
  This Single Vineyard is still very young and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

  Big juicy cab. Lots of ripe red fruit. Just enough drying tannins. Very pleasant but not very interesting

  From their website:
  
  Polished and approachable, the 2018 vintage offers an alluring floral-berry perfume and pops of dark, wild berry and clove flavors. There’s serious volume on the palate, supported by firm tannins and dusty-earth accents that are hallmarks of the Rutherford Bench. Balanced acidity lifts the finish while subtle notes of clove and baking spice linger with each sip.
  
  DeCarle Vineyard is planted on the west side of Rutherford, in the dusty soils for which the area is known. This Cabernet Sauvignon offers a silky palate that complements the wine’s juicy berry and black cherry flavors and finishes with a subtle minerality.
