Description
Rutherford Hill sources Merlot from strategically selected vineyard locations throughout the Napa Valley, giving us an enviable assortment of superior grape sources to choose from. We selected our best hillside vineyard to make this wine. The wine was handmade in every way: the fruit was selected from a special area of the vineyard, the tank maceration was watched over daily until it was perfect, only the free run was used and a specific new French oak barrel was picked that match the fruit profile. The wine will be aged for 20 months in our underground caves.
