2021 | Beaulieu Vineyard BV Rutherford Reserve | Napa Valley Txomin Etxaniz chamomile and a whole rangeBright and fruity with black currant, blackberry, boysenberry and black licorice notes, but not overdone. Full bodied with tension from tannins that nicely frame the wine. Firm, bright and focused, even racy. Drinking so well now but will age beautifully. 95 Pts James Suckling
