2018 SULLIVAN COEUR DE VIGNE RUTHERFORD CABERNET SAUVIGNON "Deeply colored, smooth, rich, with plum, blackberry, lush style, with hints of vanilla" 95 Points "This is a sanguine and effusively perfumed red wine, soft and rounded in texture, with underlying grip. Richness prevails in the form of dark cherry, cassis and dark chocolate, with ancillary notes of dried herb, cedar and sweet tobacco. This is an impressive wine from the appellation: full-bodied and well integrated." 94 Points "Aromas of ripe berries, vanilla, licorice and pine needles. Some blue flowers and chocolate, too. Full-bodied, rich and intense palate with plush tannins and succulent berries and spiced oak. Long, firm finish. Try after 2024." 93 Points "Very solid Cabernet, with a core of warmed cassis and plum reduction notes wrapped in licorice root, alder and tobacco. Everything moves in lockstep from start to finish, with a loamy edge lingering at the very end. Best from 2024 through 2036." 93 Points
