Excellent blend but surprisingly sparkly for the age - classic fruit forward nose but somewhat suppressed on the palate - not as regal as expected — 2 days ago

+2 hour decant(some chunky sediment). A striking dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: dark fruit, dried herbs, forest floor, chocolate, anise. Taste: silky, opulent wine that maintains its elegance with blackberry/some dark cherry, currants, dark chocolate, earth, minerals, and a graphite espresso long finish. YUM! Drinking well with the decant and time to go. — a month ago

Another well aged M.-Etain.
I bought a case on release at retail $120.00 OTD.,
That’s long gone but this was worth the extra $70 on Auction. — a month ago

The Rutherford Hill Napa Merlot (2021) reveals a deep ruby core with subtle garnet reflections, suggesting youthful vibrancy with potential for short-term development. The nose is precise and layered, offering blackberry and raspberry fruit interwoven with cedar nuances, indicative of measured oak influence.

On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with light acidity that enlivens the fruit profile while maintaining balance.

Tannins are fine-grained and unobtrusive, supporting a bright structural framework that lends clarity and poise.

The finish is clean and persistent, marked by freshness rather than weight, making this a versatile companion to dishes such as roasted chicken, grilled salmon, or semi-hard cheeses. — 2 months ago
