Sullivan Coeur de Vigne Rutherford

California

Rutherford

The 2021 Coeur de Vigne Cabernet Sauvignon, with 14% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot in the blend and aged in 60% new French oak, is deep garnet-purple in color. It swans out of the glass with showy scents of creme de cassis, wild blueberries, and Morello cherries followed by hints of violets, menthol, and crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate delivers beautifully ripe, plush tannins and compelling tension to frame the bright yet generous fruit, finishing long with great purity. 2,600 cases were made.

Medium garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Coeur De Vigne needs a little coaxing to bring out notes of baked plums and dried cherries with hints of spice box, dried Provence herbs, and mossy tree bark plus a waft of crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate is savory and muscular, with a refreshing line and long, spicy finish.
