Rutherford Hill

Founded in 1972, and now owned by the Terlato family, Rutherford Hill winery is a pioneer in the development of California Merlot. The grape growers who founded Rutherford Hill carefully studied the geography and soil conditions that resembled those of Pomerol in Bordeaux. Today, Merlot remains the flagship wine of the winery with 75% of Rutherford Hill's production dedicated to this varietal, one of the leading Merlots of Napa Valley.
