Bid on this 2-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2012 Greer Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon and 1-bottle of 2013 Greer Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon (98JD). Of the 2013 Greer Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon, Jeb Dunnuck writes: "Purchased at the great Napa restaurant Press, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon showed brilliantly. A powerful, locked-and-loaded 2013 that’s just about as good as anything out there, it reveals a deep purple color as well as a blockbuster nose of blackcurrants, scorched earth, violets, candied flowers, and chocolate. With building minerality on the palate, full-bodied richness, a monster of a mid-palate, and a great finish, this is another insanely good 2013 that will take another 4-5 years of bottle age and will evolve for 30-40 years. 98+" (01/2021)

A killer effort from this great vintage for the Valley, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon offers up currants, spice, leafy tobacco, and cedar pencil on the nose. Checking in as the usual 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 19 months in 60% new French oak, it's round, lush, and hedonistic on the palate, with fine tannins, no hard edges, and that open, seamless, sexy style of the vintage. Drink bottles over the coming 10-15 years or so. Drink 2026-2040.

Notes

A great location in the heart of Napa Valley gives the Greer Vineyard a host of top-flight neighbors: Rubicon, Scarecrow, and Phelps, to name just a few. But this small family winery doesn't rely solely upon their location, having enlisted well-regarded winemaker Aaron Pott (formerly of Quintessa) to craft the wine. Aaron has done his job so well that Greer has become a hard wine to purchase, selling out their small-production every vintage soon after release via their mailing list.

Aaron Pott is obviously a super-talented winemaker who seems to have a bright future ahead of him. He is buying fruit from interesting sources and turning them into exciting wines. (RP)
