Le Génie
Based on 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.5% Cabernet Franc, and 0.5% Petit Verdot and aged 22 months in 70% new French oak, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Le Genie comes from slightly younger vines planted mostly in 2010. Sweet cassis, graphite, liquid violets, and spicy incense notes define the aromatics. Full-bodied, deep, and unctuous on the palate, it shows sweet tannins and a pure, focused, layered style with tons of character. This impressive Rutherford Cabernet will benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age and evolve beautifully over the following decade-plus. Drink 2027-2040.,,
