Round, rich in fruit, and expansive on the palate, the 2016 Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon exudes layers of espresso, black fruit, and graphite. Full-bodied, it does not hold back in power yet succeeds in finding balance. e structured finish suggests it has the potential to age, in the correct cellar conditions, for years to come.
Sourced exclusively from Frank Family’s Lewis Vineyard in Carneros. Here, the predominant maritime influence of the Pacific Ocean and San Pablo Bay creates the cool temperature, fog, and wind that make our vineyard site ideally suited for growing cool climate varieties.
The acidity that develops in Carneros fruit surprisingly compares to Champagne, France. We put our sparkling wines through partial malolactic fermentation to soften the high natural acidity and to achieve the richness we’re looking for. Our Blancs de Blancs showcases that perfect balance between bright acid and smooth creaminess
Pairs well with beef, lamb, deer, venison, mature cheese, and poultry dishes.
