Rutherford Hill Cabernet Sauvignon, 2021

Product Highlights

Founded in 1972, Rutherford Hill was one of the pioneering wineries that helped define Napa Valley's reputation for world-class Bordeaux varietals. This bottling honors that legacy, crafted from the winery's most treasured estate vineyards in tribute to founder Anthony J. Terlato. The nose is complex and layered, offering dark fruit—black currant, blackberry, and blueberry—alongside cassis, savory herbs, anise, and spice. On the palate, intense flavors of dark cherry and pomegranate unfold alongside a thread of baking spices for real depth. The wine is full-bodied and round, with a lush texture and rich, substantial tannins reinforced by toasted oak. That structure gives it a heady, full-bodied personality complemented by red fruit and rich dark chocolate. It's an ideal choice for special occasions, pairing beautifully with roasted meats, aged cheeses, or a dark chocolate dessert.
