RATINGS

97The Wine Advocate

...generous amounts of black cherries and cassis, alongside a faint herbal note...full-bodied wine, rich and somewhere between velvety and silky, with a long, elegant finish.

Concentrated blackcurrants, black olives, tobacco, hints of chocolate, and loamy earth define the bouquet. Full-bodied and incredibly concentrated, it shows beautiful mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, and an opulent texture.

94Vinous / IWC

Silky tannins wrap around a core of black cherry/plum fruit, espresso, leather and tobacco...wine of texture, depth and impeccable balance...

17+ Jancis Robinson

Whiff of leafy-green freshness with heavy, dense cassis. Floral but also very ripe. Meant for earlyish drinking. Broadens and fans out on the finish. Super-fine tannin with high but well-integrated acid. Cedary finish.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Rutherford

Rutherford AVA is just north of the Oakville AVA in the heart of Napa Valley, and it is equally distinguished. It is home to Beaulieu Vineyard and inglenook, arguably Napa Valley’s most historically influential wineries. Inglenook started making in wine in the late 19th century, and Beaulieu Vineyards was producing by the first years of the 20th century. BV founder Georges de Latour is particularly esteemed for having recruited Andre Tchelistcheff, a renowned research oenologist, to move from France to Napa Valley in 1938 and run BV’s winemaking. The legendary Tchelistcheff brought European winemaking techniques to Napa Valley and vastly improved wine quality. Other Rutherford winemakers followed his lead. Today there are 5,000 vineyard acres in Rutherford and many acclaimed producers. The famous Silverado Trail with its exclusive, limited production wineries, runs partly through Rutherford AVA. Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignons are characterized by supple tannins, richness, notes of cherry and plum, depth and the ability to age for several decades. Besides Cabernet Sauvignon the AVA also grows Chardonnay, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel. It received its AVA designation in 1994.
