- Winemaker notes: Deep purple in color, this is a profoundly beautiful wine, powerful yet focused, in addition to lively and fresh. It perfectly captures the beauty of our Rutherford hillside vineyard with textural elegance, fine tannin, and lengthy weight. Integrated oak supports layers of blackberry, espresso, vanilla, and cola, along with underlying acidity. Blend: 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot
