Winemakers tasting notes: Approachable yet cellar-worthy, this debut vintage leads with a luscious cherry-floral perfume, with soft espresso and spice undertones.

The palate is generous and loaded with velvety tannins, red cherry and berry flavors, along with hints of cocoa and raspberry preserves, along with the dusty-earth accents that are hallmarks of the Rutherford Bench.
