2017 Rutherford Bench Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

This rich and complex wine opens with classic Rutherford Cabernet aromas of plum, spice, cigar box, and sweet tobacco with subtle floral notes and hints of peppercorn and graphite. On the palate, this wine is smooth with elegant with flavors of cocoa, cherry cola, and black cherry followed by notes of cocoa nibs and Christmas spice. This classic, more old-world style Cabernet has a balanced palate, a refreshing finish, and a strong sense of place from the Rutherford terroir. 92 Points, James Suckling.

92 Points by Wine Spectator A streamlined style, with red currant and raspberry coulis notes lined with light savory, floral and anise details. Nicely focused on the finish, with light-handed toast letting the fruit play out. Drink now through 2030.  –JM

2018 Rutherford Bench Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

92 Points by James Suckling Blueberry jam, spiced plum, nutmeg, and licorice on the nose. Savory black olive, too. It’s full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Lots of tangy berry jam and spices. Try from 2021.
