95 Points The Wine Advocate. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford gives up a pronounced cassis, blackberry pie and crushed cherries nose with hints of lilacs, Indian spices and damp earth in the undercurrent, plus a touch of Sichuan pepper. Medium to full-bodied, firm and taut, it has great poise and good expression, with grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, culminating in a lingering yet beautifully subtle, mineral-laced finish.
