A benchmark expression of Rutherford excellence, the 2021 Hewitt Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon embodies power, precision, and pedigree. Crafted from meticulously selected blocks of the historic Hewitt Vineyard—first planted in 1880 and celebrated for its exceptional terroir—this vintage delivers the hallmark depth and elegance that define Napa’s finest Cabernets.
Rich aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and espresso unfold into layers of cocoa, graphite, and warm cedar. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and finely structured, with firm yet polished tannins carrying through a long, resonant finish. A touch of Rutherford “dust” adds signature texture and balance, while 100% French oak aging imparts notes of vanilla bean and toasted spice.
Perfect for collectors and connoisseurs alike, this wine will age gracefully for 15+ years, revealing even greater nuance over time. Pair with prime rib, braised short ribs, or aged cheddar for an unforgettable experience.
