Two Range Napa Valley 2016

The 2016 Rutherford Ranch Two Range Napa Valley Red Wine opens with a pleasing aroma of dark berries, plums, cedar, cola and vanilla. Taking a sip reveals tons of ripe, sweet tasting berry fruit in this very dry wine. You'll also find a bright acidity, a smooth and soft mouthfeel, lots of nice vanilla notes and touches of spice. This is a crowd-pleasing blend with lots of deep, satisfying flavors. It ends with long lasting vanilla-soaked fruit along with some licorice notes.

Napa Valley is ideally positioned between two mountain ranges: the Vaca to the east and the Mayacamas to the west. Within the valley, grape character and flavor are unique expressions of the diverse soil types and microclimates. We hand select lots from this rich array of outstanding fruit, including vineyards within the Rutherford appellation, to craft Two Range Red Wine, a delicious and complex blend that captures the essence of this world-renowned wine growing region. The Rutherford 2 Range Napa Valley Red Wine shows fresh oak and vanilla coupled with raspberry and dark red cherries, blended with dark chocolate and toasted oak. Rich tannins lead to a full bodied wine that lingers on the palate.
