Winemaker Notes
Rutherford Hill Barrel Select is crafted with high quality Bordeaux varietals that demonstrate lively and bright red fruit aromas of cherry, raspberry, and plum, with a slight hint of spiciness. The luxurious structure and multi-layered aromatics of this wine showcase the depth, range and elegance of the vineyards in which this exceptional fruit is sourced. French oak barrels cradle each harvest within the estate caves for 16 months providing a unique environment that enhances the wine aging process.
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.
