Rutherford Hill Merlot 2003 375ml

Complex, with perfumed plum and black cherry fruit flavors that are supple and polished, with good intensity, depth and length. Fine-grained tannins show through on the finish, along with a touch of cedar and herb. This tightly wound youngster has room to grow. Drink now through 2009. Score: 88. — James Laube, July 31, 2005.
