In the press

17.5/20 Rusty-nail aroma and a dusty, rusty fragrance fills the glass and glitters through the fruit like hematite. Beautiful fruit, cherry dark, glimmering with hedgerow-raspberry highlights, speckled with black pepper and wrapped in long, long silk ribbons of tannins. It's muscular and the backbone of structure is powerful, welded iron but somehow fluid – not a molecule of astringency, although the dustiness seems to give the wine a cocoa-powder texture. Towards the end, freshness starts to build, drawing into a long floral, inky finish. Despite its grandiose Napa character, you could fly on the cold-mountain energy of this wine. Drink 2024-2040

94/100 Enticing aromas of black cherry, blueberry, black liquorice, coffee and dried herbs with cedar freshness. Broad and expansive palate with the same flavours as the nose, combining with a rich vein of minerals, dried rose petals, tobacco, refreshing acidity and mouthcoating tannins. From winemaker Trevor Durling.
Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter

Tasting note

The 2019 Rutherford Reserve Cabernet embodies our benchland terroir. Aromas of dark berries, earth, and oak lead to classic Cabernet flavors. Blackberry, cassis, and wild rose intertwine with subtle spice and oak notes. The mouthfeel is rich with polished tannins. Plush and smooth, it finishes long. A Rutherford AVA standout.

Viticulture

The 2019 vintage blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Malbec from BV Ranches No. 1, No. 2, and No. 10. On the western Rutherford Bench, alluvial fan soils from the Mayacamas Mountains provide diverse mineral-rich composition. Deeply rooted vines yield complexity, minerality, and Rutherford's distinctive character.

Vinification

Grapes were hand-picked, destemmed, and cold soaked for gentle extraction. This nurtured an elegant, layered fruit profile and Rutherford Dust tannins. During fermentation, cap was pumped over for skin integration. Over 80% new French oak and a touch of Malbec/Petit Verdot added to balance fruit with toasty notes, enriching the flavor profile.
