2022 Rutherford Hill Merlot Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes:  Deep ruby red with aromas of forest fruits such as blackberry, raspberry and cranberry that dominate delicate cocoa and cedar. On the palate, bright red fruits like raspberry and cranberry give length and structure to help elevate layers of cedar, clover and cocoa that are so gracefully interwoven throughout.

Blend: 92% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "Soft and lifted aromas of Damson plums, tea leaves and violets. The palate is full-bodied with supple tannins and focused acidity, showing notes of mocha, cola and bramble berries. Fresh and giving."
