The label I read showed 2019, my host assured me that it was 2021.

The 2021 coming along nicely and showing some beautiful development. Because of its nice integration, I believe this really was 2019. 🤷‍♂️ — 8 days ago

2021 vintage. PNP. Nose waay nicer than the flavors currently but ended up being a relatively solid effort for the price. No complaints. Maybe the gorgeous bouquet complexity marries into the flavors family at some point in the next 5-10 years? Twould be nice. 01.17.26. — 6 months ago

One of our favorites wineries, this vintage is a bit drier and lighter than the 2020 (which we preferred slightly better), probably a bit young to open, best if paired with a well seasoned and juicy/fatty steak. — 7 months ago

The Rutherford Hill Napa Merlot (2021) reveals a deep ruby core with subtle garnet reflections, suggesting youthful vibrancy with potential for short-term development. The nose is precise and layered, offering blackberry and raspberry fruit interwoven with cedar nuances, indicative of measured oak influence.

On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with light acidity that enlivens the fruit profile while maintaining balance.

Tannins are fine-grained and unobtrusive, supporting a bright structural framework that lends clarity and poise.

The finish is clean and persistent, marked by freshness rather than weight, making this a versatile companion to dishes such as roasted chicken, grilled salmon, or semi-hard cheeses. — 9 months ago

Big flavors competing for first chair, but all playing at equal volume. Cassis, blueberry, eucalyptus, saddle leather, cacao nibs, vanilla, and sweet tobacco. All this with poise, balance, and such a velvety mouthfeel. The finish is long and laden with Ludens. Very good!

Hate to be a typical wine drinker, but there was a smooth and velvety taste with a continuous bite at the end. Completely coats the tongue with flavor from start to finish. — 8 months ago
