2005 BV Rutherford Cabernet



Tasted the 2005 BV Rutherford Cabernet with James and V from Diagio. Also poured were BV Tapestry and Rosenblum Cab.

The BV Rutherford really stood out in the tasting. The dark fruit aroma came through on the palate. The 2005 was ready to drink now, with smooth tannins and balanced acids. It had that "this is a well made wine" taste.

8.7

The Tapestry was OK to me. It has more varietals in it to form a Bordeaux blend. The nose was tight with some fruit. The palate lacked the fruit and balance of the Rutherford. 8.2
