Cathiard Vineyard Founding Brothers Red Blend 2020

#98 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2023

The Founding Brothers is produced in homage to James and William Rennie the founders of the original winery on the property and images of both are portrayed on this label.

A wine with depth and concentration displaying the true character of Rutherford dust terroir. On the nose, the quintessential Bordeaux blend where both Cab Franc and Merlot are playing their part, dark cherries, green tea leaves and chocolate with hints of eucalyptus. Carries onto the palate and supported with fine, powdery tannins and a long finish.

Blend: 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc
