2021 Rutherford Estate Vineyard Merlot

93 Points, James Suckling

“Powerful, full-bodied and nicely packed with tannins, this wine is concentrated and structured enough for further aging. Dark cherries, toasted oak and dark chocolate are wrapped in a firm texture”

91 Points, The Wine Advocate

“One of my favorite bottlings from St. Supéry this release cycle is their 2021 Merlot Rutherford Estate Vineyard. Black cherries pick up hints of cedar and vanilla, but the variety’s ebullient fruit takes center stage on the nose and palate. It’s medium to full-bodied, supple and silky-textured, with a lingering, harmonious finish”

“A blend of 80% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 9% Petit Verdot, the 2021 Merlot Rutherford Estate Vineyard is perfumed and floral, offering Christmas spice, minty herbs, and black and blue fruits. Medium-bodied, juicy, and pure, with elegant, fine tannins, this impeccably made Rutherford release will drink nicely for 8-10 years”
