Rutherford Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon (750ml)

PRODUCTION NOTES

The 2019 growing season, started with an abundance of rainfall and late soil moisture. The long, warm summer saw very few extreme heat events, with foggy mornings setting the stage for vibrant and expressive wines. The long, relatively mild, finish to the season helped to preserve freshness and finesse in the fruit with ample hang time teasing out great color, structure and soft tannins. Yields were average to a little below average. All in all, exceptional fruit with bright acidity and plentiful texture promises an amazing vintage.

ABV: 14.5%
