Rutherford Ranch Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Napa Valley Bottle
Rutherford Ranch Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Napa Valley

$49.95

Nice Cab' that opened up after an hour of decanting, but definitively not worth $50. I was expecting more complexity. Tasted January 2016.

i have been keeping this wine for a couple of years and was looking forward to the day I would open it. However, this wine did not live up to my optimistic expectations. My biggest disappointment was how light this wine turned out to be (let's say light to medium body range to be fair) and the associated acidity. Also, I found the flavors to be almost completely taken over by the oak. Tasted December 2011.

Nice full-bodied Cab' from Australia that is sweet and green at the same time. Only con is the level of heat that is a bit distracting to fully enjoy. Tasted November 2013.
