Sequoia Grove Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, United StatesPeppery, spicy, floral, barnyard, tobacco, black berry, vanilla, smoky saddle, prune, black olive aromas. Round, elegant, fuller palate with fine grained tannins and good acidity. Chocolate, earthy, tobacco, black berry, smoky prune, olive and cedar flavours with a coffee, black cherry and orange peel finish. A tad tight on the finish but shows good complexity and expresses the Rutherford characters. Will improve over the next 1-3 years.Tasted: 24 January 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
