title: Rutherford Ranch 2005 Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
description: The oak is strong, giving a toasty, charcoal aroma and tannic texture, and the acids and grape tannins likewise contribute to making this wine rather aloof. Underneath are good, complex cherry and raspberry flavors, with an earthy richness approaching chocolate. Seems to have all the parts in place to age. Try around 2012.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
