Tasting notes
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Quicksilver Vineyard is all Cabernet Sauvignon from Rutherford. As with the other single vineyards, it's saturated purple in color and has a complex, earthy bouquet of black cherries, damp earth, bloody blueberries, iron, and forest floor. This medium to full-bodied effort is very much in the style of the estate, yet has slightly more tannic grip as well as acidity. Give it 3-4 years and it should drink nicely for 15+.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Quicksilver Vineyard is another wine that offers a good bit of up-front appeal. Jammy dark fruit, chocolate, spice, leather and tobacco fill out the wine's gracious, mid-weight frame effortlessly. My impression is that the Quicksilver will be at its best over the next decade, give or take.
Made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Quicksilver Vineyard opens with cassis, black cherries, kirsch and bay leaves with lavender and baking spices nuances. The palate is medium to full-bodied, elegant, fresh and vibrant with loads of spring in its step, finishing long.
