Why You'll Love This Wine Single-vineyard Napa Cabernet from one of Rutherford's most legendary sites. Bright, polished, and elegant—this is the kind of wine that reminds you why Napa Valley is famous.
Tasting Notes Medium to full-bodied with beautiful balance. Bright Bing cherry, redcurrant, and cassis lead the way, with hints of rose petal, caramel, and sweet cedar spice layered underneath. The texture is creamy and polished with velvety, fine-grained tannins—that signature "Rutherford Dust" softness. The finish is long, peppery, and spiced. More lifted and elegant than heavy-handed.
Food Pairings

The 2019 vintage was one of Napa's most balanced in recent years—a long, cool growing season meant lower sugars, brighter acidity, and exceptional freshness. This drinks beautifully now but has the structure to cellar for years if you're patient. From the Morisoli Vineyard, a site that's been farmed by the same family for over a century and supplies fruit to some of Napa's top producers. This is serious Rutherford Cabernet at a price that makes sense.
