Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon

Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the central valley floor of Napa Valley, where well-drained soils and warm conditions produce structured, full-bodied Cabernet wines. The region is best known for its signature “Rutherford Dust” character—a combination of fine tannins, dark fruit, and earthy notes that give the wines both power and texture. Compared to nearby Oakville, Rutherford Cabernets often show a more pronounced tannic grip and classic Napa structure, making them a benchmark style for Cabernet Sauvignon.
