The 2023 Pat’s Blend—a sophisticated Rutherford blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, and 3% Malbec—is fun and lively on the nose, bursting with brambly red fruit, blueberry, and blackberry. Ripe plum and dried thyme are balanced by structured notes of cedar plank, dark chocolate, and warm baking spices. On the palate, the wine is weighty and full-bodied, offering a surge of red fruit energy alongside cassis, espresso, and an earthy mulberry depth. Fine-grained tannins provide a polished structure that carries into a long, rich finish, making it a perfect companion for savory dishes like pan-seared chicken with Dijon mustard sauce or a hearty French onion soup.

Pat’s Blend is a Bordeaux style red wine, crafted from fruit grown on our Rutherford Estate. Our site features loamy soils of gravel, clay and sand which help provide ample drainage and decrease the vigor of foliage growth. These ideal growing conditions allow our Bordeaux varietals to reach full maturity on the vine without taking on the green leafy taste of under ripened fruit. Grapes are hand-harvested in the cool early morning hours to preserve their fresh, vibrant character.
