Beaulieu Vineyards Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, United StatesThis is a fresh, juicy, red fruited, mouth-filling wine with bright acidity and fresh, floral mineral notes. Skinny by Napa standards, speaking to the terroir and hands off winemaking. Just the right level of spice and toast complements its firm, dry structure, finishing with a whirl of espresso. It should age effortlessly. The majority of the fruit is sourced from Napa Valley’s Rutherford, Calistoga and St. Helena appellations. The wine is mostly cabernet sauvignon with small amounts of petit verdot, merlot and malbec to up the complexity. Solid but not jumping out of the glass at this point.Tasted: 02 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $75.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
