Rutherford
Rutherford is a prestigious subregion located in the heart of Napa Valley, California, known for its distinctive dusty tannins referred to as 'Rutherford dust' and optimal growing conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. The terroir features well-draining gravel-loam soils, moderate temperatures with cooling fog influence from San Pablo Bay, and a unique microclimate that creates bold, structured red wines with exceptional aging potential. While Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the plantings, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive in this appellation home to iconic estates like Beaulieu Vineyard and Inglenook.
