2022 Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon $15 flat rate shipping and black licorice aromas riseBrimming with classic "sauvage" character, this tribute to our western Rutherford benchland terroir opens with fragrant red berries, ripe plum, and hints of violet. The palate is silky with a plush, full bodied texture highlighting black cherry, cassis, and pomegranate flavors, accented by wild brambleberry, red berry compote, and a hint of darker graphite.
