A textbook Rutherford Cabernet, this wine opens with a remarkable punch, our Cabernet Sauvignon is farmed in the famous “Rutherford Dust” that yields small, yet intense clusters from well-balanced vines. The ideal growing conditions in the vineyard allow our Bordeaux varietals to reach full maturity on the vine without taking on the green, leafy taste of under-ripe fruit.

In the heart of the Foley Johnson Rutherford Estate, our Cabernet Sauvignon is farmed in the famous “Rutherford Dust” that yields small, yet intense clusters from well-balanced vines. The ideal growing conditions in the vineyard allow our Bordeaux varietals to reach full maturity on the vine without taking on the green, leafy taste of under-ripe fruit. The grapes were harvested between September 22 and October 5, 2022. The wine went through 100% malolactic fermentation and aged for 18 months in 40% new French oak before going into bottle on July 24, 2024.
