Notes of plum and boysenberry jump from the glass with highlights of red fruit aromas. The underpinnings of this wine are earthy and mocha-like elements which are typical for Georges III and Rutherford in general. Hints of aged tobacco and cedar add another layer to this wonderfully complex wine. Refreshing and focused on the palate, the wine showcases deep refined tannins with black fruit flavors and a citrus lift. The wine has terrific mid-palate cling and the finish lingers with a loamy, earthy character reminiscent of Mocha Java coffee.

Aromas of green tobacco, black currants, and lead pencil shavings. Full-bodied with a fresh herb and currant character that shines through as well as fresh vanilla and hints of meat.
