Winemaker Notes
Rutherford Hill has much respect for the noble Chardonnay grape and all their winemaking and viticultural practices are aimed at enhancing the grapes' natural charm and stylishness.
Expect this 2006 bottling to show refined aromas of citrus and nutmeg lifted by pretty floral tones. The weight is just right; round and soft with a welcome beam of bright acidity binding the wine together.

Wine Spectator
A mix of tight, flinty, citrusy pear and green apple flavors that fan out, gaining a touch of silkiness midpalate and finishing with a pretty core of fresh fruit.

Nestled high in the Eastern Hills, Rutherford Hill Winery commands a spectacular view overlooking the Rutherford bench of Napa Valley. It is from a handful of the most select Napa vineyards that Rutherford Hill continues its tradition of crafting legendary wines. In 1976, while the rest of the world was just beginning to take notice of Napa Valley, the founders of Rutherford Hill recognized a unique opportunity. They believed that the climate and soil of the valley, similar to Pomerol, were well suited to Merlot and were among the first to pioneer what has become Napa's premier varietal. Today, this tradition of quality continues, expressed by wines of great complexity and character.
