Winemaker Notes
Wonderful ripe fruit and French oak integrate beautifully into an aromatic sensation! Dark fruit flavors of cherry, currants and plums harmonize with essences of toasted oak, bay, violets and chocolate. A rich, generous fruit entry is elegantly supported on the palate by a firm, tannic framework, leading to a lengthy, impressive finish. Enjoy this truly special offering of Merlot now, or hold 12 to 15 years for added bottle complexity.

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.
