The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Hillside Reserve is deep purple-black in color with notes of warm cassis, red plum compote, redcurrant jelly and wild blueberries with touches of underbrush, garrigue, wild sage and wood smoke. The palate is full-bodied, firm and chewy with mouth-filling black fruits and loads of red berry accents, finishing long and grippy.
