- 1985 Rutherford Hill Zinfandel Vintage Port - USA, California, Napa Valley
Dark mahogany with a faded tawny edge. The nose shows mature aromas of dried fig, cedar, and molasses, accented by leather and a hint of balsamic. On the palate, it’s fully resolved, with smooth layers of prune, toasted walnut, and dark spice. Acidity is mellow, and the tannins have nearly faded, leaving a silky texture and an elegant, earthy finish marked by cocoa and aged wood. (90 pts.)
