Note di degustazione
There is a real freshness to the fruit here, dark fruits with spice, leather and a note of mint. Cocoa nib and plums are met with chewy tannins and a vibrant freshness. This feels modern and fruit-forward but with structure also. A good, long and pure finish. (AC)

90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot. Harvested 10–29 September. Dark, intense crimson. A little evolution at the rim. Well integrated and with some freshness. No dead fruit involved. A little minty and with nicely resolved tannins and the fruit overlaying them. A good Franco-American wine! This may be a fair buy because it presumably doesn’t command the premium of Rubicon? (JR)
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is a powerful and dense in the glass. Sweet tobacco, menthol, licorice and grilled herbs give the wine its aromatic nuance. This is an especially savory style, with mid-weight structure and linear tannins that need time to soften. This is a super-classic Rutherford Cabernet.
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is the entry level effort and it offers delicious notes of currants, leafy herbs, cedary spice and forest floor. Ripe, opulent, medium to full-bodied and frontend-loaded, drink it over the coming 10-15 years. This cuvee is 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot.
