Vultour Reserve Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium Napa Valley red wine crafted from grapes sourced from some of the region's most prestigious appellations. The blend consists of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot, with fruit coming from Oakville (60%), Pritchard Hill (30%), Rutherford (7%), and St. Helena (3%). The wine is aged for 21 months in 70% new French oak barrels, resulting in a complex and layered profile.

This wine showcases the winemaking expertise of Kian Tavakoli, who spent 4 years as the winemaking enologist at Opus One and 8 years as head winemaker at Clos Du Val Estate in Stags Leap. The wine opens with rich aromas of blackberry, cassis, dark chocolate, plum, and subtle notes of leather and forest floor. On the palate, it delivers full-bodied luxury with flavors of boysenberry, dark fruit, espresso, and toasty sandalwood, supported by fine-grained tannins and balanced intensity.

Tasting notes from reviewers describe aromas of red and black fruit, violets, tobacco, plum, and leather. The wine features typical Rutherford characteristics with blackberry or boysenberry paired with dark chocolate. The palate is balanced with chewy tannins, full body, and a pleasant length of finish. Decanting is recommended for 1.5 to 2 hours to allow the wine to reach its peak and reveal its full complexity. The wine pairs excellently with steak, beef, lamb, and rich dishes.
