Description
When you combine legendary terroir, meticulously cared-for vines and a perfect vintage, you have all the makings of a remarkable wine; this 2018 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon is such a wine. It is tempting to write of its delicious black fruit, its complex notes of minerals and dried herbs, and its silky balance on the palate—but for us, the wine simply tastes like our home, Rutherford. Years of effort with organic viticulture, dry farming and minimal cellar intervention yield a wine that could not be produced outside of the 10 square miles that define its appellation.
