Duckhorn Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
by Duckhorn Vineyards
A classic, beautifully structured Napa Cabernet from the heart of Rutherford — known for its signature “Rutherford dust” minerality, plush dark fruit, and polished power.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford AVA)
Warm days and cool nights in 2021 delivered excellent ripeness with freshness
Oak ageing adds depth without masking the fruit
Rutherford Cabernets are famous for combining richness with earthy complexity — and this bottle delivers exactly that.
Nose
Blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, dark cherry, cocoa powder, cedarwood, vanilla bean, subtle graphite
Palate
Full-bodied and silky — layers of cassis, plum, dark chocolate, espresso, sweet spice and fine-grained tannins
Finish
Long, smooth, and elegant with lingering dark fruit and gentle oak warmth
Beautiful now with decanting, and will age gracefully for 10–15 years.
Ideal with:
Prime rib, ribeye, or beef tenderloin
Lamb chops with rosemary
Short ribs or braised beef
Aged cheddar or Parmigiano Reggiano
A perfect wine for refined dinners and premium tasting events.
Rich yet balanced, polished but expressive — a textbook Rutherford Cabernet that delivers depth, elegance, and classic Napa Valley character.
