Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Frank Family / Rutherford
Ripe and fleshy in young fruit, this Cab, with minor amounts of Cab Franc and Merlot, shows black currant, plum, cherry and cedar flavors, with a dry-sweet dusting of crushed brown herbs and spices. Fairly tannic and tight now, it’s balanced enough for mid-term aging. Best 2008–2012.
