Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford
Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford

Cherryy cedar with complex chocolate.
The Cabernet Sauvignon from Rutherford swings sublimely through the glass in a deep dark red with black reflections.
Dark cherry and black currant dominate the nose. Pomegranate and cardamom nestle alongside softer aromas such as vanilla and cedar wood. All aromas are ripe and soft.
On the palate we encounter a lively acidity and long and soft tannins. A balanced and smooth complexity of violets and dark chocolate underline the weighty texture on the mid-palate and the characteristic length on the finish.
The wine was aged 50% in new French oak and 50% in used French oak.
The Hall family in Napa Valley in California is committed to holistic sustainability. Their approach is full circle farming, where wine, vegetables and fruit are grown in parallel with livestock farming. All factors are interdependent and take each other to a completely new level.
A farm with a long meadow in the Mayacamas Mountains is the focal point of Full Circle Farming.
The goal is to produce first-class wines - the by-products are unique and are used in the restaurant and at the weekly market. The entrepreneur and trombonist Ted Hall moved to California with his wife Laddie in the 1970s and immediately became a great wine lover. The dream of having his own vineyard eventually led him to buy a fallow and overgrown piece of land with a characteristic long meadow and a farmhouse: the Long Meadow Ranch.
With a lot of sweat, passion and belief in the success of the Full Circle Farming concept, the land was transformed into well-tended farmland, where son Chris now grows wine, olives and over 500 rare types of vegetables and fruit. An important part of the entire mission is the animal component: Highland cattle and chickens provide fertilizer, meat and eggs. Along with the farm's own bees, they keep the Long Meadow Ranch ecosystem in balance. All of the farm's products are very popular in the farm's own restaurant and at local farmers' markets.
The location, the Napa Valley, plays a crucial role when it comes to wine. Wines from the Napa Valley enjoy an excellent reputation and guarantee the highest quality and uniqueness. With vineyards in Rutherford, in the Mayacamas Mountains and in St. Helena, the vineyards also reflect the rich diversity of the Napa Valley. The exotic vineyards are the vines in the Anderson Valley outside the Napa Valley - Burgundian conditions prevail in northern California - compared to the Mediterranean Napa Valley. The result: an exciting range of attractive Californian premium wines.
