Winemaker Notes

The 2021 Jetrois Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from a single vineyard in the heart of the Rutherford AVA. It is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon 7% Merlot and 3% Malbec. This wine is dark ruby in color with showing notes of black cherry and spice box on the nose. The mid-palate is bolstered with the dark black cherry notes with a velvety mouthfeel. Still showing long on the finish, this wine provides both immediate and long-term enjoyment.

Harvest Notes

The 2021 growing season started early with bud break occurring about a week earlier than average. With a shortage of winter rains, we experienced another drought year, with rain totals about 60 percent of normal. Luckily, we didn’t see much in the way of heat spikes, so the fruit ripened at a consistent pace. The fruit was harvested at night on October 8th.
