Greer Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 750ml

WA 98 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, September 2022

Greer’s 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon features perfumed, almost rose-like scents layered atop cherries and cassis, with a savory foundation of gently dusty earth. A blend of the tiny vineyard’s three Cabernet clones (Clone 4, Wiemer, See), it’s medium to full-bodied, supple, velvety and long, A lovely wine from start to finish, it’s impeccably balanced, elegant and harmonious.

Floral and berry aromas with fresh plums and sliced oranges. Complex fruit character. Medium to full body with tannins that spread across the palate. You know they are there, but you dont feel the texture. Lovely, perfumed and perfectly ripe fruit character. Pure cabernet sauvignon. Drink or hold.

(97+ points) I was able to taste two vintages of the Greer Cabernet, both brilliant wines coming from a tiny three-acre vineyard on the Rutherford Bench. The wines have been made by Aaron Pott since 2001. Starting with the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon, this beauty offers incredible purity and precision in its cassis, candied violets, green tobacco, and lead pencil-like aromatics, and it certainly wouldn’t be out of place in a lineup of top First Growths from Bordeaux. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied and has a concentrated, rich mid-palate, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. This is classic 2018 in its purity, freshness, and structure. It needs 4-6 years of bottle age and will have 30 years of longevity. It will most likely merit a triple-digit rating at maturity.
