Hailing from the iconic Rutherford appellation, this Cabernet Sauvignon beautifully displays the elegant characteristics of this region.  Deep garnet in color, this wine has gorgeous aromatics of rich plum and raspberry.  Combined flavors of black cherry and mocha, the palate is polished and full of alluring dark fruit flavors and hints of vanilla and oak.  The finish is balanced and structured with concentrated layers of dark plum and essence of roasted coffee, giving the Rutherford appellation the great honor that it deserves.  This was a small lot production of only 420 cases.
