“Tthe 2018 Merlot Rutherford Estate Vineyard reveals a deep purple hue to go with impressive purity in its cassis and mulberry fruits as well as notes of chocolate, cedary herbs, and tobacco. It shows the vintage’s pure, elegant style yet has terrific concentration, ripe tannins, a good spine of acidity, and a great finish.” – January 2021
