The 2018 Blank has a beautifully layered dark nose of black cherry, aromatic black tea, blackberry bramble, rose oil, black licorice, and violet candies. The silky entry opens to flavors of black fruit, culinary bay, and bakers’ chocolate seamlessly underpinned by velvety tannins and lovely texture through to the finish. This wine will age effortlessly for at least 20+ years.
James Suckling: 98 Points
So much graphite and dark fruit here with some iron and spice. Lead pencil, roses and light mint, too. Full-bodied and wonderfully seamless with dusty tannins and a lightly balsamic finish.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
A nice burst of mulberry and loganberry fruit leads the way, with licorice, black tea and violet notes playing supporting roles. Sleek and refined through the finish, with sneaky depth.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Blank Vineyard is racy, supple, and easygoing, all of which make ti a fine choice for drinking now and over the next 10-15 years, maybe more. Dark cherry/plum fruit, mocha, spice, new leather, and licorice give this mid-weigth Rutherford Cabernet a good deal of complexity to match its mid-weight structure. Attractive floral and savory accents liven up the finish. The tannins are just a bit edgy, so give this time.
