Rutherford Hill Merlot Twenty- Sixth Anniversary 2000

Napa Valley, California, United StatesImpressive peppery, spicy, black cherry/blackberry nose with smoky, olive, herbal notes. Super soft on entry with round smoky, vanilla, peppery notes laced with spicy, sour cherry and plum flavours. Nice balance but a bit hot and dry on the finish with some tobacco, herbal notes. Still, an attractive, seductive merlot style that is ready to go in half bottles and will be soon in the 750 ml format.Tasted: 31 December 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
