Score 95/100 · Drink 2018-2032, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2015

Etude's 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford, from Morisoli, is bursting at the seams with intense, juicy fruit. Rose petal, mint, sweet cherries and blue stone fruits race across the palate. A great example of the year, the 2012 drinks well today yet has the stuffing to drink well for a number of years. The exuberant finish only adds to the wine's considerable appeal. Cloves, lavender and mint wrap around the voluptuous finish.

An outstanding effort, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford displays more tobacco leaf, forest floor, damp earth, baking spices, red and blackcurrant, and sweet black cherry characteristics. Rich, ripe and elegant, it is best consumed over the next 12+ years.
