Taste: Beautiful nose of toasty French oak, warm fruit, mocha, and black olive. Medium/full-bodied (hallmark of the 2005 vintage), this wine shows outstanding overall structure and balance and great depth of varietal character. Chocolate, blackberry, tobacco, and espresso flesh out the mid-palate, and the wine finishes smooth with notes of cocoa powder and that classic Rutherford "dust."
Cameron Confidential: This is the bottle blend (meaning that it's one finished wine from one producer and the exact same wine as they will bottle that year) from a high-end, conscientious Rutherford producer truly focused on quality. Their bottling frontlines at $45 on their website and has received 90- to 92-point scores for the past 3 vintages from the Wine Spectator.
Quite simply one of the best cabs we have ever produced and definitely a steal at $15.
