The 2020 Rutherford TADDEI Block does not disappoint.  Following in the footsteps of its older brothers, the vineyard continues to kick out great vintages. In a vintage that was very trying, this little gem stood out. The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon has aromatics that express raspberry, Bing cherry, leather, cigar and pencil lead. On the pallet, the wine is very consistent between vintages with copious amounts of cherry, crushed plum and leather with exceptionally soft tannins. The vineyard continues to produce fruit that possess rich flavors coupled with dusty elements and soft tannin.

2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, Taddei Block, Rutherford, Napa Valley

With a dark red hue interlaced with hints of dark purple and indigo, the wine opens up with alluring aromas of ripe berries, freshly baked blueberry tart, black licorice, dark chocolate, earth tones, cinnamon and incense. On the palate, the flavors expand with generous notes of ripe blackberry, huckleberry, fresh cassis, bittersweet chocolate nibs, roasted walnuts and layers of spice. On top of that, the wine is full-bodied with a velvety mouthfeel, firm structure, smooth tannins, and a long, gracious finish. The end result is a brilliant wine with a perfect balance of power, composure and finesse without being too sweet or cloying—all inside one bottle!
