This was the first vintage of the Provenance Estate Cabernet. The other Rutherford Cabernet is sourced from multiple vineyard sites, not all of which belong to Provenance. When young, this wine was powerful and rich. Last year it showed nice fruits and a rich mid-palette. The richness is waning now, but the fruits are clean and the balance is impeccable. I noted dark cherry, cranberry, black licorice, leather, and subtle minerals. I wanted something nice to open for my sister’s last night of her visit, and this wine served that purpose nicely.
