2008 ESTATE RUTHERFORD RED (Sold out)

We are pleased to release our award-winning 2008 Estate Rutherford Red Bordeaux Blend. Using the best wines of the vintage, the blend is comprised of 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Petit Verdot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 5% Merlot. Possessing vivid dark-fruit aromas: hints of black cherry and huckleberry mingle with nuances of cassis. Exceptionally concentrated, its rich mouth-filling style finishes on long-lasting and balanced flavors. This beautiful blend will continue to develop and pleasure for many years to come.

CELLAR NOTES:The Rutherford Red varietals were fermented in small stainless steel tanks after a 2-day cold soak. Twice-a-day pump-overs were applied and as fermentation temperatures reached 90 degrees more intensive pump-overs were used to extract the deep color and rich flavors from the grapes. Careful pressing techniques allowed us to take each varietal and separate it into three distinctly different lots. These lots were evaluated, and the best lots of each varietal were used in the resulting blend.

2008 ESTATE CABERNET SAUVIGNON

A big, bold, intensely flavored wine, our Estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon shows why Napa cabernet is so sought after. Tiers of rich currant and black cherry mix with the cedar, tobacco and earth notes. In the mouth, dark-red fruit flavors mix with leather and licorice, while the toasty oak finish lingers on the palate with moderate tannins.

2008 ESTATE CABERNET FRANC

A wonderfully rich, intense and balanced Cabernet Franc. Our Estate-grown Cabernet Franc was picked late in the season to fully develop flavor. In the mouth, tightly focused currant, black cherry, anise and cedar linger nicely, plus touches of blueberry, coffee and spice. The long finish ends on moderate tannins. An exceptional food wine.

2011 CHARDONNAY

From vineyards deep in the Carneros Appellation we find fruit for this handcrafted Chardonnay. Aged in French oak, this wine reveals light citrus notes of key lime and lemon, with a hint of minerality.  This wine finishes with intensity, concentration and a pretty floral highlight.

2010 PINOT NOIR

We harvested these grapes from the rolling hills of the Sonoma Coast. The earth and climate of this region, with nutrient rich soil and cool breezes, make it ideal for Pinot Noir. Delicate and supple on the nose, this wine exhibits aromas of violet-potpourri and sweet red fruits. On the palate you will find flavors reminiscent of fruit leather, strawberries and pomegranate.
