2019 Sullivan Rutherford Estate Cabernet Walla Walla textural tanninsBlended with 9% Petit Verdot, this estate wine is juicy, broadly expansive and grippy in tannin, with strong, rich layers of cassis, dark cherry and oak. Aged 21 months in all new French oak, it offers a spicy earthiness of clove, tobacco and dried herb that accent the fruit and texture with ease. Still youthful, it will benefit from cellaring. Enjoy best from 2029 through 2034. Virginie Boone 95 pts Wine Entusiast
