Winemaker Notes
Rocking Horse is a playful reminder of dreams come true. This sumptuous Cabernet is handcrafted from a small vineyard that hugs the western tree line in Rutherford. Full bodied with dark crimson hue, this exceptional wine delivers aromas of violets and dried flowers with a black cherry lingering finish. The wine was aged for 24 months in small French oak barrels. From youth to maturity, this wine is always memorable – especially when served with friends and loved ones.

The deep black cherry color and the smooth, sleek texture place this cabernet solidly in Napa Valley. But the aromas and flavors are quirkier than you might expect. There's a pungent scent of juniper, a tart raspberry edge to the fruit, richly textured with a little bombast, a little finesse. Serve it with Easter lamb.

Established in 1989, Rocking Horse is a small quality producer of ultra premium red wines. It was proprietors Jeff and Nancy Doran’s desire to produce the absolute best wines from legendary growing regions. That quest quietly led them from a backyard bottling line, producing a limited 600 cases, to their current 8,000 case production level. Early in the building years a conscious decision was made to purchase fruit from growers and let them do what they do best. Extreme care is taken to marry the proper vineyard site and appellation with the appropriate varietals.
Trademark wines are typically “made in the vineyard” and picked at optimum ripeness to ensure a silky full mouth feel and dark crimson purple hue. Each wine is true to its varietal character and offers many layers of complexity. The name Rocking Horse was developed over time from an in-house collection of art, a sense of belonging and a playful reminder of dreams come true. Memorable in nature yet understated by design, the name touches the heart of Americana and lingers on... well after the evening’s wonderful meal.
