Description

Time travel to Napa Valley’s historic heartland in the Rutherford nested appellation with a stunning vertical collection of 25 appellation-designated magnums paired with an array of intimate, vintner-hosted virtual tastings. A quintessential expression of time and place, this rare vertical magnum collection is sourced exclusively from the Rutherford AVA in the historic heart of Napa Valley. With library selections reaching as far back as a 1980 Beaulieu Vineyard Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon, each wine serves as a time capsule for Napa Valley’s incredible past vintages. As legendary winemaker André Tchelistcheff famously said, “It takes Rutherford Dust to grow great Cabernet,” and this collection is the proof. These 25 magnums will take you on an epic adventure from the Rutherford’s eastern volcanic hillsides, to the famed Rutherford Bench. You’ll savor Cabernet Sauvignon reserve selections, single vineyard bottlings, and renowned wines from Rutherford’s iconic estates—including Amici Cellars, Beaulieu Vineyard, Inglenook, Quintessa and more. As you explore the Rutherford nested appellation via your new cellar, you’ll dig deeper into the famed “Rutherford Dust” with an array of exclusive vintner-hosted virtual tastings. In an intimate one-on-one setting (circumstances permitting), you’ll meet and taste with the passionate people behind the wines, and hear their fascinating stories that have collectively established Rutherford as the historic center of Napa Valley wine.
