    The BV Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is an exceptional wine from Beaulieu Vineyard Rutherford. This vintage shows a deep, alluring amethyst-purple color, revealing a rich and juicy core of black cherry, blackberry, and plum. Perfumed aromas of raspberry, wild violet, and rose petal greet the nose, supported by subtle hints of espresso, mocha, and baked blueberries. The wine’s texture is structured and plush, with signature “Rutherford Dust” tannins giving it a firm grip and velvety-smooth mouthfeel.

    On the palate, the BV Rutherford Cab offers layers of dark fruit flavors, including blackcurrant, balanced by hints of cedar, cocoa powder, and oak spices. Its vibrant acidity supports the dark fruit core, leading to a long, persistent finish with touches of graphite and vanilla. This wine is powered by youthful tannins, built to improve with age. Trevor Durling, the winemaker, developed this wine using 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot, aged for 21 months in 80% new French oak, for a beautifully balanced and complex wine.

    Wine Enthusiast rated BV Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 95 points, praising its energizing tannins and vivid fruit flavors of blackberries and baked blueberries. Decanter highlights its polished structure and the intricate oak spices that complement the muscular fruit profile.

    This Beaulieu Vineyard Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon is perfect for cellaring and will drink best between 2027 and 2037, developing more complexity and depth with age.

    Critical Acclaim

    WS 92
    Wine Spectator
    Offers a focused mix of warmed cassis, cedar, violet and savory notes that have good freshness and length. Shows a nicely polished structure, without the rusticity that befalls more than a few '20s. Well-done. Drink now through 2035.
    WE 95
    Wine Enthusiast
    Energizing tannins and vivid fruit acidity power the massive black fruits and intricate oak spices in this muscular but polished wine. Plump blackberries, baked blueberries, black currants and cedar all add to the compelling flavors. Built to improve and gain complexity with age, this wine should drink best from 2027–2037.
    WA 90
    Wine Advocate
    BV's 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Reserve reveals notes of ripe cherry, cassis and dusty earth on the nose, framed by cedar and vanilla. It's medium to full-bodied, ripe and reasonably silky in feel, then more open-knit and even slightly coarse on the finish.
    JS 92
    James Suckling
    A fruity and delicious 2020 with currant, light chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. Medium body with medium-round tannins and a juicy finish.
