Tight and complex, with layers of spicy currant, earth, cedar, toast and anise. Firms up on the finish, with crisp acidity and mineral notes. Best from 2002 through 2010. 4,000 cases made. -JL

A strong briar-patch nose is accented by cola, creamy vanilla, and finely toasted oak. It’s much the classic Rutherford big boy, with black-currant, licorice and tobacco notes. Yet it remains cool and light, not heavy or corpulent. Fine tannins close it out, leaving us with a more positive impression than in our original review, which appeared in the July issue.——W.E.(9/1/2000)—— 90
