Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Dark chocolate, dark cherry, cassis, and chocolate aromas intermingled with sweet herbs, and subtle vanilla. Rich and round with vibrant fruit character of dark cherry and sweet herbs. The tannic structure of this wine exemplifies the classic Rutherford style. Hints of dark cherry mingle with sweet oak, sweet sage, and dried cherries that linger on the palate.

Blend: 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 4% Petite Sirah, 2% Malbec

    COMMENTARY: The 2017 Rutherford Ranch Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon states it case as a classic Napa Valley red. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows excellent density and presence. Enjoy its attractive aromas and flavors of black fruit, dust, and licorice with pan-fried shoulder lamb chops. (Tasted: December 10, 2019, San Francisco, CA)

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.

Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
