Rutherford Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Napa Valley, California, United StatesA decent year in California if on the cool side and without many heat spikes it gives this fine value cabernet a core of black fruit with a touch of leafy cassis undercurrent. The palate is rich and spicy with more dense and black cherry and vanilla flavours throughout. Textbook introductory Napa cabernet. A T-bone steak would be a perfect match or perhaps a grilled lamb chop. Tasted: 03 June 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $28.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
