2019 BV Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
2019 BV Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon This Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon defines the unique signature of our estate vineyards, offering a true sense of place, with incredible depth and balance, showing rich dark berry fruit and signature velvety cocoa-powdered tannins, accented by well-integrated oak spices and tremendous concentration, leading to a long finish.
95 James Suckling: A very attractive red now, with complexity and yummy drinkability. It’s medium-bodied with medium, round tannins that are fresh and more-ish. It’s dusty and lightly earthy with dark currants as well as tobacco. So much going on, in a subtle and refreshing way. 85% cabernet sauvignon, 10% petit verdot, and 5% malbec. Drink or hold.
94 Wine Enthusiast: Deep black-fruit flavors, moderate tannins and a sense of good density make this wine from one of Napa’s oldest producers impressive. Cloves, cedar, blackberries and a touch of anise combine for good complexity on the palate. Best After 2026.
