2018 Premier Crew Red

This wine began as an educational experiment and an opportunity for our cellar team at Rutherford Hill. Starting with six barrels from our estate vineyard in Pope Valley, the group divided into teams. Each team was responsible for strategizing the protocols for their barrel. After tasting each barrel, the winemaker team created a red blend of great balance and complexity arising with underlying notes of cherry, mocha and spice. A true “premier crew!”
