2013 Merlot, Rutherford

2013 Merlot - Rutherford, Napa Valley

Our 2013 Rutherford Merlot captures the classic elegance of Napa Valley, reflecting the distinct characteristics of its renowned Rutherford terroir. On the nose, it exudes aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, and dried herbs, complemented by subtle notes of cocoa and sweet tobacco.

The palate offers a smooth, velvety texture, with flavors of dark berries, plum, and hints of mocha and cedar. These flavors are layered with a touch of earthy minerality, hallmarking the famous “Rutherford Dust” character. Gentle tannins and a long, balanced finish make this Merlot an inviting choice for immediate enjoyment or cellaring for further complexity.

Enjoy this Merlot with roasted lamb, mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses to bring out its rich, savory notes.
