Frank Family Vineyards Rutherford Reserve 2013

Description

eRobertParker.com #222 Dec 2015 Robert M. Parker, Jr. Rated 94 Drink: 2016 – 2033 (85) The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Reserve is 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, aged 20 months in 50% new French oak. This has a more saturated purple color, a glorious extract and richness, built with a solid inner core of essence that is pure, dark and impressive. Some dusty/loamy undertones are present, but the dark blackberry and cassis fruit dominate this full-bodied beauty. It still has tannins to shed, but this wine should hit its peak in another 5-7 years and last a quarter-century or more. This label shows 2012,but it is a 2013 VINTAGE
