2023 District Series
Rutherford
Merlot
Deep ruby core with garnet edges, youthful and vibrant in the glass. Aromatic and inviting, the nose opens with ripe red plum, black cherry and wild raspberry, followed by layers of mocha , cedar and dried herbs.
The palate is plush and velvety, showcasing generous fruit of dark plum and blackberry. Earthy undertones of cocoa powder and graphite bring complexity, while Rutherford’s signature dusty minerality adds structure and a savory edge.
