Round, rich in fruit, and expansive on the palate, the 2016 Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon exudes layers of espresso, black fruit, and graphite. Full-bodied, it does not hold back in power yet succeeds in finding balance. e structured finish suggests it has the potential to age, in the correct cellar conditions, for years to come.
Sourced exclusively from Frank Family’s Lewis Vineyard in Carneros. Here, the predominant maritime influence of the Pacific Ocean and San Pablo Bay creates the cool temperature, fog, and wind that make our vineyard site ideally suited for growing cool climate varieties.
20 months in 50% new French oak barrels and 50% once-filled French oak barrels.
Pairs well with beef, lamb, deer, venison, mature cheese, and poultry dishes.
