Winemaker Notes
The sophisticated style of Hunter Ashby was originally created to serve guests at Tangley Oaks, the Tudor Gothic estate that serves as the corporate home for Paterno Imports. The Hunter Ashby label was designed to feature the hunting dog, a symbol of the Tudor Gothic period. Hunter Ashby wines pair wonderfully with the innovative cuisine served by the Terlato family, owners of Paterno Imports. Careful grape selection and equally careful attention to winemaking are the keys to Hunter Ashby. Now, these soft, elegant wines (a second label of Rutherford Hill Winery) are being made available to the broad market for all to enjoy.
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.
