WINE DESCRIPTION
With Rutherford Hill Winemaker's Blend the winemaker decided to create a blend that hadn't been attempted before—a true fusion of five exceptional varietals: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot! The key to this blend lies in the addition of Petite Sirah, enhancing aromatics and contributing layers to the wine's structure. Merlot introduces a plush plum element, Cabernet Sauvignon provides a dark foundational structure, Cabernet Franc adds a floral touch, and Petit Verdot brings color, tannin, blue fruit, and chocolate components. Together, they intertwine to craft a beautifully complex Napa Valley wine!
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Rutherford Hill Winemaker's Blend is a delightful wine.It is crafted with precision and care, resulting in a harmonious combination of flavors and aromas.
On the nose, you can expect to find enticing notes of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a hint of vanilla. These aromas are complemented by subtle hints of cedar and tobacco, adding complexity to the bouquet.
The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins that provide a smooth and luxurious mouthfeel. Flavors of blackcurrants, plums, and baking spices dance on the tongue, creating a symphony of taste sensations. The wine's well-integrated oak adds a touch of elegance and contributes to its long, lingering finish.
