Perched high on a scenic hilltop, Rutherford Hill Winery overlooks the famed Rutherford Bench, drawing from Napa Valley's finest vineyards to craft exceptional wines. Established in 1972, the winery's founders recognized the valley's unique similarity to Pomerol, pioneering Merlot as Napa's signature variety.
Since acquiring the winery in 1996, the Terlato family has carried forward a legacy of excellence, investing in the estate and refining the character and complexity of every bottle.
We were able to snag a deal that will not last long so now is the time to act and enjoy this outstanding wine.
Deep crimson with alluring notes of blackberry and marionberry with traces of dark chocolate, roasted oak, cedar, and chestnuts. In the mouth there are rich opulent blackberry flavors with a subtle hint of raspberry, which leads into the layers of roasted oak and cedar. Long smooth velvety yet spicy finish.
Wine Spectator 93 Points “Fresh and pure, with a steady stream of cassis and black cherry puree laced with violet and anise notes. Offers a loamy echo through the gently toasted finish.”
James Suckling 90 Points “Dark berries, currants, grilled herbs, earth, and asphalt on the nose. Full body with firm tannins. Chewy and structured with a mellow texture at the center and a grippy finish. Try after 2024.”
