The 2016 'Rutherford Estate Family Reserve' is a stunning release from Del Dotto. It opens to a highly perfumed nose which entices with black cherry cordial, black tea, Asian spices and crème de cassis. On the palate this is well structured and intense, this delivers flavors of ripe black fruits which continue to mingle with coffee grounds and blueberry compote as it comes to an end with a long, layered finsh. Showing a hedonistic edge, this is impossible to resist right now.
