Why You'll Love It
If you're looking for a classic, full-throttle Napa Cabernet, this delivers everything you'd hope for. Layers of cassis, blackberry and black cherry are wrapped in silky tannins, with notes of cedar, dark chocolate and sweet spice adding depth and complexity. Rich without being heavy, it's a wine made for long dinners, great steaks and special occasions.
About The Producer
Rutherford Hill was established in 1972 on the eastern slopes of Napa Valley, helping establish the region's reputation for Merlot before broadening into richly structured Cabernet Sauvignon. The AJT Collection draws on the Terlato family's vineyard holdings and takes its name from Anthony J. Terlato. Vineyards in Rutherford benefit from long warm days, cooling evenings and the alluvial soils that give Napa Cabernet its hallmark dark fruit and firm tannins. Careful small-lot selection and French oak ageing help produce wines of depth, concentration and polish without losing the identity of the vineyard.
Winemaking Information
The 2021 AJT Collection Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested from Terlato estate vineyards in Rutherford on 5 September 2021. Fermentation involved about 21 days on skins with twice-daily pump-overs. After pressing, the wine underwent extended French oak maturation, with a published total of 20 months and 40% new barrels. The producer's distributor lists 14.2% ABV and Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
