RUTHERFORD HILL CAB AJT COLLECTION 2021

Rutherford Hill Winery, established in 1972, pioneered California Merlot production by capitalizing on the Napa Valley s similarity to Bordeaux s Pomerol region. This strategic decision led to the winery s success, with Merlot remaining its flagship wine, accounting for 75% of production and becoming one of Napa Valley s leading Merlots. In 1996, the Terlato Wine Group acquired Rutherford Hill, implementing quality-focused improvements to further enhance the winery s reputation and offerings.
