We are thrilled to be included once again in RH Drexel’s annual Top 50 Wines. In 2025, the winery-exclusive 2019 St. Supéry Rutherford Estate Vineyard RU3 was one of their most memorable wines. We couldn’t agree more!


RH Drexel’s Top 50 wines of 2025
These wines were the most memorable, the most delicious, the most beautiful for me personally this year.

#23 – 2019 St. Supéry RU3 Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford, Napa Valley
Regal. Worth decanting. Drive through tree lined country roads. $ 250.00


Winemaker’s Tasting Notes – A dark red and purple hued wine with classic Rutherford aromatics of fragrant blackberry, black pepper, dusty cocoa powder, tobacco, dried blueberry, and violets. The wine is plush and nuanced on the palate with black plum, blackberry, anise, and espresso notes that linger to the long, pleasing finish. The 2019 RU3 is firmly structured and concentrated with layers of elegant texture and fine-grained tannins for long-term aging. 200 cases produced.

97 Points, Jeb Dunnuck – “The clear standout in the lineup is the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Ru3, a stunning blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, and 9% Petit Verdot brought up in 78% new barrels. This vivid purple beauty gives up a deep, rich, full-bodied style as well as awesome notes of crème de cassis, violets, pen ink, crushed stone, and graphite. It’s young, dense, and unevolved, with incredible concentration, so plan on hiding bottles for 5-7 years if you can. It’s a stunning wine that, unfortunately, is made in tiny quantitie.”
