Rutherford Ranch

If there is a place where the myth of Californian wine becomes tangible reality, that place is undoubtedly Rutherford, in the heart of Napa Valley. A stretch of land that for many wine lovers represents the “holy grail” of Cabernet Sauvignon. This is where Rutherford Ranch was born, a winery that has managed to interpret this territory with remarkable clarity and precision. Their production philosophy starts exactly here: interfere as little as possible. For this reason, their approach in the vineyard is almost tailor-made. So forget excessively heavy or jammy wines. The style of Rutherford Ranch focuses entirely on balance. The typical power of California is certainly there, with intense notes of blackcurrant, ripe cherry and cocoa. But there is also a balsamic freshness, almost reminiscent of mint and sage, which makes the sip smooth and never tiring.
