Top Notes For
Napa Valley, California, USA
RHW has a spectacular view overlooking Napa's Rutherford bench. The founders believed the soil and climate was similar to Pomerol, so they were one of the first to plant Merlot. A classic blend with some Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah to give the wine some depth and aged for about 16 months on French oak. Dark berry aromas fragrant spice with cherry and tart raspberry on the palate with notes of cinnamon and cacao. Tannins are a little big, medium finish ending with a little oak edge.
