Rutherford 2021 Vintage Overview

2021 OVERVIEW

Dark-toned cabernet fruit drives this 2021 Quintessa Rutherford, with blackcurrant, blueberry and plum layered over cocoa, dried herbs and a subtle iron-like earthiness. The palate is powerful yet composed, framed by ultra-fine, powdery tannins and lively acidity that carry a long, savory finish. This is a biodynamic estate red that balances energy and finesse, promising even greater nuance with time in the cellar.
