Tasting Note

Deep ruby with intense aromas of dark cherry, plum, fresh fig with a hint of nutmeg, in the mouth it is medium-bodied with concentrated flavours of dark plum, pomegranate, dried cherries and a mocha finish that lead to supple and lengthy finish. Blended with classic Bordeaux varietals to produce a high quality, refined, luxury Napa Valley Merlot

The palate is rich and layered with flavors of black currant, vanilla, and black tea, making it a complex and balanced taste experience that is perfect for any occasion. This wine is aged in oak barrels for 16 months, which enhances its deep and rich flavors. The Rutherford Hill Merlot is a perfect accompaniment to red meat dishes, like steak and roast beef.
