honig mitchell vineyard cabernet sauvignon (rutherford)

點擊次數：2078

From a vineyard on Rutherford’s cooler, western bench comes this dry, spicy, firmly tannic young 100% Cabernet. It’s aggressive and muscular now, with a hard, dusty astringency. But the rich core of red currants, black cherries, mocha, violets and cedar strongly suggests ageability. Better after 2011.——S.H.(6/1/2009)—— 94

Made in an appealingly ripe, polished style, this 100% Cab has intense flavors of ripe cherries, currants, spices and cedar, with a dusty sprinkle of dried herbs. It shows the elegant balance and ageworthiness of a fine Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon. Now through 2012, at least.——S.H.(12/15/2007)—— 92
