The 2023 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon is typically **ripe and structured**, with dark fruit leading the way and Rutherford’s signature dusty, earthy character underneath. Expect aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco leaf, and a touch of violet, with cocoa and baking spice adding warmth.
On the palate, it should feel full-bodied but polished, with fine tannins and a smooth, savory finish. The style is often reminiscent of classic **Rutherford Cabernet** from Napa, with a bit more restraint and elegance than overt richness.
Serve it with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, or mushroom risotto.
