The 2020 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the signature “Rutherford Dust” with a velvety texture and aromas of baked blackberry, espresso, and cigar box. It offers richly layered flavors of chocolate-covered cherries, fresh herbs, and a subtle earthiness that adds depth and complexity. Medium to medium-plus toasted French oak aging brings balanced tannins and a refined structure. This wine’s plush yet elegant profile makes it a classic example of Rutherford’s terroir-driven style. It pairs beautifully with prime steak, smoked ribs, or sautéed mushrooms, enhancing hearty, savory dishes.
