Its comprised of thicker and heavier adobe soils with small amounts of gravel which are perfect for growing Cabernet Sauvignon.

Tasting Notes

Upon opening, sultry aromas of blueberry, blackberry, lavender, taragon, and spice fill the nose. This full-bodied Cabernet is layered with concentrated dark berry flavors, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking spice. This is a well-structured wine, beautifully displaying the quality of our Rutherford Estate terroir. While approachable now, this wine will age beautifully and gain complexity over the next 10-20 years.

Wine Fact Sheet

The name ‘Peral’ pays homage to the sites history as a pear orchard. Today a single 100 year old pear tree remains in the vineyard. Its comprised of thicker and heavier adobe soils with small amounts of gravel which are perfect for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. 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 wine went through 100% malolactic fermentation and was aged for 18 months in 30% new French oak before going into bottle on December 14, 2023.
