It is from a handful of the most select Napa vineyards that Rutherford Hill continues its tradition of crafting legendary wines. In 1972, while the rest of the world was just beginning to take notice of Napa Valley, the founders of Rutherford Hill recognized a unique opportunity; they believed that the climate and soil of the valley, similar to Pomerol, were well-suited to Merlot and were among the first to pioneer what has become one of Napa's premier varieties.\r\nIn 1996, the Terlato family purchased the winery and embraced their legendary commitment to quality over quantity. Their pursuit of excellence began with a comprehensive review of all aspects of the property which resulted in significant enhancements to our portfolio of wines' great complexity and character.\r\nBill and John Terlato continue their father, Anthony Terlato\u2019s legacy by working closely with Rutherford Hill winemaker, to take on the challenges of consistently improving the wine, vintage after vintage. The exacting standards that the Terlato's apply to all their ventures was evident at Rutherford Hill from the moment of purchase. |
