Wine label said:
At Rutherford Ranch we work hard and we work smart to bring you the best values in Napa Valley wine. We strive to create wines with fresh aromas, rich flavors and a smooth balanced finish. Each wine expresses the honest flavor of grapes grown in the Napa Valley.
WebWino & Wine Doc say:
Was this label written by a stodgy corporate America type or what? Works hard and smart? Bring you values? Major Corporate America PR writer flags there.
Regardless, superb wine.
I had the pleasure of sharing this bottle with my trusty fellow wine reviewer, Wine Doc (you know, the one who knows what he’s talking about) and he said this Cab was, “Typical Cabernet, smooth, um… smokey cherry with a long finish. Little cherry, not a real bright cherry. I think it is worth twice the price.”
This is why I love drinking wine with Wine Doc. Because I can’t get past YUMMY. Also Wine Doc threw in this tasty morsel, that this wine was rumored to be from grapes from the Beckstoffer Vineyard, the place that Robert Parker calls “the Tenderloin of Napa Valley.” Cheers to Wine Doc, and Rutherford Ranch!
