Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: A dense, saturated ruby/purple color is followed by a wine that requires coaxing to reveal its aromatic development. Aromas of blackberries, cassis, earth, and a touch of herbs are followed by a deep, rustic, tannic wine with considerable power and structure. If the tannin and acidity become better integrated, this wine will merit an outstanding score, but it is too soon to know if that will be the case.

• James Suckling: Supple, elegant and understated in style, showcasing a complex array of currant, earth, cedar and spice flavors. Finishes with dashes of anise and coffee, and a long, full aftertaste.

Producer Information

Our estate vineyard is nestled against the eastern foothills of the Vaca Mountain range, in the northeast corner of the Rutherford AVA. According to the UC Davis Soil Resource Lab, its primary composition is the Cortina series of very gravelly, sandy loam consistent with our proximity to the Napa River. Due to its considerable depth, this soil is excessively well drained, which forces the vines to extend their roots in search of water. From 18 to 48 inches below the surface is a layer of “tufa”, white rock that was originally compressed ash cast out of the Vaca’s extinct volcanoes. Replanted in 1991, Bill’s modest seven-acre vineyard grows all five of the Bordeaux red varieties. The yield is small, producing roughly 1600 cases of boutique wines annually, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and a Meritage-style blend called Rutherford Reserve.
