Rutherford
Cabernet Sauvignon
Rutherford, Napa Valley
The "bench" area of Napa’s Rutherford district is renowned for producing extremely high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon. Stretching three miles along the west side of Highway 29, between the towns of Oakville and Rutherford, the area lies on the gravelly bed of an ancient stream, with rich, volcanogenic alluvial soils. From the third and fourth generation Taub family, this brilliant 2023 release is plush and incredibly refined.

“Rutherford cabernet is celebrated for its fine structure; our expression brings a vibrant, nuanced lift and extremely concentrated fruit intensity to that classic ‘Rutherford Dust’ profile.”
— Jake Taub, proprietor
These soil types are an ideal base for cabernet, offering the perfect combination of excellent water retention and drainage which, alongside the region’s warm microclimate and fresh sea breezes, yield cabernet with exceptional depth, vibrancy, and complexity.
