2012 Hunt McKay Napa Valley Rutherford Morisoli Vnyd Cabernet Sauvignon 90 WA
Bag yourself this highly sought-after Rutherford AVA Cabernet Sauvignon at a ridiculous knock down price. As with earlier sell-out vintages, Hunt McKay Cab 2012 is handcrafted using 100% Cabernet grapes from renowned Morisoli Vineyard. The result? A vivacious wine with blackberry, black cherry and currant aromas, and lustrous red fruit that delivers waves of flavor, from dark cocoa to licorice with a sweet tobacco finish.

- Only 700 bottles available (when they’re gone, they’re gone)

About the Winery
After two highly rated, sold-out vintages (94pts WA on 2010 vintage), this Cabernet Sauvignon by Hunt McKay tore out of the gates to much acclaim and recognition from Robert Parker and Wine Advocate. Created by winemaker Michael Trujillo, Hunt McKay 2012 is made using 100% Cabernet grapes from the same Morisoli Vineyard in Rutherford, Napa as the earlier vintages.
Hunt McKay winery, run by three friends, Karen, Danna and Michael, recently rebranded as KaDieM Cellars—the phonetic spelling of the three friends’ initials (KDM). Its logo shows three wine glasses entwined as a symbol of their friendship, families, and a toast to their commitment to truly brilliant winemaking.
Reviews
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford has slightly more density than the 2011, darker black currants and a hit of blueberry, licorice and lead pencil shavings. It should drink nicely for 10-12 years. ~90pts WA
