Blue fruit extravaganza, soft and supple Rutherford dust midpalate with cocoa powder tannin intermingled throughout. With full-bodied richness, it has a rounded, layered texture, a good spine of acidity, ripe yet certainly present tannins, and just this classic, balanced Cabernet Sauvignon profile. My money is on it benefiting from short-term bottle age. 96-98 POINTS/ Jeb Dunnuck
