Rutherford Grove, Rutherford (Napa Valley) Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

($45): Practically a single vineyard wine — the two vineyards that provide fruit are less that 250 yards apart in the Rutherford Bench and are composed of the same gravelly loam soil — this bottling speaks with precision and focus.  It delivers ripe, but not jammy, black fruit enrobed in silky tannins.  Rich and plumy with a touch of spice, it would be an excellent choice for drinking tonight with a steak.  They made only 300 cases, but it’s worth the search.
