About Rutherford Hill Winery:

Perched high on a scenic hilltop, Rutherford Hill Winery overlooks the famed Rutherford Bench, drawing from Napa Valley’s finest vineyards to craft exceptional wines. Established in 1972, the winery’s founders recognized the valley’s unique similarity to Pomerol, pioneering Merlot as Napa’s signature variety.

Since acquiring the winery in 1996, the Terlato family has carried forward a legacy of excellence, investing in the estate and refining the character and complexity of every bottle.

Today, the family, alongside our talented winemaking team, honor a steadfast commitment to the highest quality.

At Rutherford Hill, our pursuit of excellence drives us to embrace innovation at every stage of winemaking. We’ve adopted cutting-edge techniques, including selecting meticulously curated parcels of fruit and employing a refined French oak barrel regimen to elevate the quality of every bottle. In addition, our remarkable hillside caves hold 5,000 barrels and provide a beautiful venue for holiday and winemaker parties.

Our winemaking team conducts advanced fermentation trials, experimenting with different temperatures, yeast strains, and sugar levels to unlock each wine’s full potential. By tailoring our approach to specific vineyard blocks and clones, we harness the natural diversity of the grapes, ensuring that each varietal expresses its unique character.

These innovative methods allow us to craft wines that stand out for their exceptional quality, flavor, and distinction. We invite you to explore the results of our dedication and innovation—experience Rutherford Hill wines that truly capture the essence of Napa Valley.
