Description
The Rutherford Ranch Charlie’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is quintessential Rutherford. It captures the essence of the Abela Vineyard and speaks to the land and how it is cared for. From a certified sustainable vineyard, this wine is complex with many layers that will unfold as you sip. Notes of cassis, blackberry, anise and cocoa are framed perfectly by the sweet oak of French puncheons.
