Winemaker Notes
This wine offers a charming combination of opulent aromas of spices and flowers paired with crisp, bright fruitiness. It is made in a off-dry, Alsation style. It is slightly sweet with a crisp acidity that makes the wine very refreshing and compatible with a variety of foods. Warmer weather requires easy-drinking, enjoyable white wines and our 1999 Gewurztraminer fits the bill beautifully.
Nestled high in the Eastern Hills, Rutherford Hill Winery commands a spectacular view overlooking the Rutherford bench of Napa Valley. It is from a handful of the most select Napa vineyards that Rutherford Hill continues its tradition of crafting legendary wines. In 1976, while the rest of the world was just beginning to take notice of Napa Valley, the founders of Rutherford Hill recognized a unique opportunity. They believed that the climate and soil of the valley, similar to Pomerol, were well suited to Merlot and were among the first to pioneer what has become Napa's premier varietal. Today, this tradition of quality continues, expressed by wines of great complexity and character.
