Double decant for sediment(lots of chunky sediment) and pour. A remarkable dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: expressive perfumed notes of cherry, currants, dark olives, worn leather, wet forest floor, smoked meat. Taste: silky, savory, elegant wine with fading dried cherries, tobacco, dark chocolate, bell pepper, earth, and a nice mineral, espresso medium plus finish. YUM! Never disappointed with well aged Bosche or Sycamore wines — 8 months ago

St. Supéry – Merlot 2019
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California – USA 🇺🇸
Overview
Made from 100% estate-grown Merlot, this wine comes from St. Supéry’s iconic Rutherford vineyards in the heart of Napa Valley. Known for its iron-rich, alluvial soils, Rutherford imparts the famed “Rutherford Dust” character — a mix of fine tannins and earthy elegance that sets these wines apart.
Aromas & Flavors
On the nose, vibrant red and dark fruits dominate — ripe cherry, plum, and blackberry — accented by hints of violet, graphite, and a dusting of cocoa. The palate is layered with red currant, cassis, and chocolate, alongside savory undertones of sage and tobacco.
Mouthfeel
Medium to full-bodied with velvety tannins and bright acidity. The wine is plush yet structured, with an elegant balance that lingers on a smooth, cocoa-dusted finish.
Winemaking Notes
Estate fruit is hand-harvested, sorted, and fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness, followed by aging in French oak (a combination of new and seasoned barrels). This approach builds texture and depth while allowing the varietal character to shine.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with roasted duck, pork tenderloin, mushroom risotto, or herb-crusted lamb chops. A natural companion to semi-hard cheeses like Manchego or aged Gouda.
Verdict
A benchmark Rutherford Merlot, marrying plush fruit with earthy elegance. The 2019 vintage offers depth and refinement, drinking beautifully now yet capable of aging gracefully for another 6–8 years. Cheers! — 8 months 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. — 7 months ago
Took awhile to open but once it did this is a pretty decent Cab - nose is full of fruit - blackberries - palate is a little sparkly, slightly underwhelms vs the nose but still solid — 9 months ago

North of my typical price point, this was quite expressive for a cab. Robust fruit flavor, yet smooth. Other bottles suit my palate better. — 3 months ago
