2013 MERLOT

RUTHERFORD ESTATE

“Revisiting a wine after 10 years, sometimes you find a jewel. The 2013 Rutherford Estate Merlot is a brilliant garnet in a glass. The nose shimmers bright with fresh red fruit aromas of cranberry and red cherry as well as raspberry jam with subtle hints of cedar and ground allspice. Laser cut on the palate is a refreshing acidity that further enhances that red fruit perception, but transitions to black cherry and plum with a note of spicy dark chocolate. Supporting this gem are soft and velvety tannins that will give this wine excellent pairing versatility and broad appeal.”
– Justin Carr & Lisanne Leask

 

GROWING SEASON

A warm, dry spring brought early bud break, helped with canopy vigor and berry size, and created ideal conditions for flowering and fruit set under sunny skies. With the exception of one heat spike in late June/early July, temperatures were consistently in the zone for optimal vine activity, resulting in notably healthy vines as fruit went through veraison and started ripening. As this harvest comes to a close, it is about two weeks earlier than other Napa Valley harvests in the last decade. Yields on the whole have been above average.
