Winemaker Notes

The 2013 Quicksilver Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon presents intriguing aromas of plum, cherry, raspberry and sage. These vibrant fruit characters are carried on to the palate with hints of thyme, black tea and signature Rutherford dust. This medley of juicy fruits and herb makes this wine remarkably appealing, while the elegant and coating texture carries these flavors to a luscious finish.

    Another star of the vintage, the enticing 2013 Nickel & Nickel Quicksilver Cabernet displays the awesome strength of the Rutherford AVA like few others can. So rich and complex, yet always in control, this one serves up power without dominating. Deep, deep rich ruby, black color; seductive aroma of black currants, mineral and flowers-I could barely keep my nose out of the glass when I tasted this one; medium bodied, rich and firm on the palate; dry, medium acidity, well balanced; super refined flavors of black currant, chalk and violets, lots going on in this one; long finish, youthful and refined aftertaste. (Tasted: April 20, 2016, San Francisco, CA)

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

Rutherford Wine

Napa Valley, California

The Rutherford sub-region of Napa Valley centers on the town of Rutherford and covers some of Napa Valley’s finest vineyard real estate, spanning from the Mayacamas in the west, to the Vaca Mountains on the other side of the valley.

Inside of the Rutherford AVA, bordering the Mayacamas, is a stretch of uplands called the Rutherford Bench. (These bench lands technically run the length of Oakville as well). Mountain runoff creates deep, well-drained, alluvial soils on the bench, giving vine roots plenty of reason to permeate deep into the ground. The result is wine with great structure and complexity.

Rutherford Cabernet Sauvingons and Bordeaux Blends garner substantial attention for their enticing fragrances of dusty earth and dried herbs, broad and juicy mid-palates and lush and fine-grained tannins. The sub-appellation claims some of the valley’s most prized vineyards today, namely Caymus, Rubicon and Beckstoffer Georges III.

It is also home to Napa’s most influential and historic personalities. Thomas Rutherford, responsible for the appellation's name, made serious investments here in grape growing and wine production between the years of 1850 to 1880. Gustave Niebaum purchased a large swath of land and completed his winery in 1887, calling it “Inglenook.” Today this remains the oldest bonded winery in California. Georges Latour founded Beaulieu Vineyard in 1900, making it the oldest continuous winery in the state. Latour also hired the famous enologist, André Tchelistcheff, a man credited for single-handedly defining the modern Napa winemaking style.
