Description
This boutique Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterclass in the legendary Rutherford Bench style, crafted by veteran winemaker Ray Coursen in a tiny production of just 120 cases. Drawing fruit from a prestigious plot on Bella Oaks Lane, the 2021 vintage captures the raw power of the season while maintaining the elegance for which this region is world-renowned. It is a deeply personal wine that honors Coursen’s dairy farming roots through a label that feels like a shared secret among Napa enthusiasts. This is the bottle you open when you want to experience the soul of the valley in its most concentrated and authentic form.
