Winemaker Notes
Americans suddenly seem to realize what people along the Mediterranean Coast have known for centuries: rosé can be every bit as compelling as red or white wine, if it's made the right way.
For Rutherford Hill, that means using 100% Napa Valley fruit and striving for balance and complexity - the common denominators for all great wines. Enjoy with grilled fish, chicken, salads or as an aperitif.
Color: Light ruby
Aroma: Cherry, plum and ginger
Taste: Strawberry, raspberry, cherry with a hint of spice
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.
