Taub Family Rutherford Cabernet 2018
The Taub Family wines continue to fly under the radar and produce impressive wines year in and year out. All this while staying the course and not giving in to what style is popular this year.
This wine draws you in with enticing aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, and black currant, with just a hint of coffee and spices.
The palate is smooth and inviting- even straight after opening the bottle. Wonderful texture, with elegance and restraint. Traces of Rutherford Dust are evident in between layers of blackberries, black currant, and dark cherries, with secondary notes of rich fruit cake, dark chocolate, cooking spices, and tea. Wonderful finish, although not as long as previous vintages. There is a richness about this wine without being over-ripe or over-extracted with impressive integration. An absolute delight to drink.
This wine exhibits great structure and balance with fine-grain tannins that begs to be paired with a steak or just about any red meat from the grill.
I can see this cellaring out another 8 – 10 years without a problem.
