Nose
Developed plum and dark chocolate dominate the aroma, with layers of caramelized wood and subtle hints of vanilla.
Palate
A true representation of the Sullivan Estate and the Rutherford appellation, this wine shows classic signs of the savory Rutherford dust. While a masculine wine, there is elegance and depth with resolved tannins giving the sense of cocoa powder flowing across the palate. A broad, juicy quality evokes a sense of pleasure, which makes this wine hard to put down.
Aging
21 Months, New French Oak.
