Established in 1972, it was one of the first in the region to produce Merlot-dominant wines, influenced by the winemaking style of Pomerol and Saint-Émilion. Today, it is still well known for its Merlot in a region best known for its Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery is located on a 4 hectare (10 acre) hillside vineyard in Rutherford. The estate's staple portfolio of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay come primarily from sustainably farmed vineyards around the Napa Valley in Rutherford, Carneros, Pope Valley, Oak Knoll and Atlas Peak. In Sonoma Valley, Syrah and Pinot Noir are sourced from the Dry Creek Valley and the Russian River Valley respectively. Rutherford Hill's top wine, the Merlot Reserve, is produced from the best Merlot across its 81ha (200 acres) in the Napa Valley. The Reserve Merlot program was created to produce powerful Merlot wines with aging potential – the estate's library of Reserve wines date back over a decade. Since 1996, Rutherford Hill Winery has been apart of the Terlato Wine Group portfolio.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-04-03T13:16:57-04:00","created_at":"2024-03-30T19:23:22-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","Other_Wine","Producer_Rutherford Hill Winery","Region_California","RK290324","Source_VendorEmail0324","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Merlot"],"price":3350000,"price_min":3350000,"price_max":3350000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44569445269642,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2021 | Rutherford Hill | Merlot","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":3350000,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/12_267135a0-a851-4c49-87db-b07b29a7b1e0.png?v=1711841087"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/12_267135a0-a851-4c49-87db-b07b29a7b1e0.png?v=1711841087","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2021 | Rutherford Hill | Merlot at CaskCartel.com","id":26596058398858,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.337,"height":395,"width":133,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/12_267135a0-a851-4c49-87db-b07b29a7b1e0.png?v=1711841087"},"aspect_ratio":0.337,"height":395,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/12_267135a0-a851-4c49-87db-b07b29a7b1e0.png?v=1711841087","width":133}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2021 | Rutherford Hill | Merlot\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep ruby red with aromas of forest fruits such as blackberry, raspberry and cranberry that dominate delicate cocoa and cedar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutherford Hill\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings: \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eJS\u003c\/span\u003e | 92\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Merlot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States, California\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep ruby red with aromas of forest fruits such as blackberry, raspberry and cranberry that dominate delicate cocoa and cedar.
