Description
A rare collaboration between winemaker Brooke Bobyak Price and Thomas Rivers Brown, this Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon unites two visionary palates to elevate the appellation's purest expression. A meticulous approach of hand-sorting fruit and small-lot fermentations preserve the wine's purity and focus, while careful barrel selection hones texture and depth. A true cellar treasure from two of Napa Valley's most respected barrel whisperers, the end result is a refined, powerful Cabernet Sauvignon showcasing Bella Union's devotion to both detail and place, while highlighting Rutherford's quiet intensity and effortless grace.
