Raspberry jam, mocha, plums and dark spices flesh out in a forward, opulent wine with tons of immediacy, especially for the year. Polished, silky tannins only add to the wine's allure. The Rutherford Reserve is a surprisingly open, succulent Cabernet that can be enjoyed upon release. Antonio Galloni, 94 pts The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Reserve is 93%
