Finesse is exhibited here within an athletic frame, keeping a soft and sensuous profile for this raving beauty’s well-integrated tannins.

From a single site on the Rutherford Hill estate, this blend of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot is enhanced with silky tannins that surround white-pepper plum gelée.

This is an over-achiever for California appellation Sauvignon. Medium-bodied, it shows ripe flavors including classic melon and citrus notes, but also a suggestion of tropical fruits.
