In 1880, brothers James and William Rennie left their native Scotland and set sail for California with big dreams of Napa Valley. Five years later, they built a stone winery and planted 60 acres of vineyards straddling the Rutherford and St. Helena AVAs - the same land now owned by the Cathiard family. Founding Brothers is produced entirely from estate-grown grapes to capture the character of this special terroir.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
It has depth and concentration, expressing the true character of Rutherford. The aroma is dark cherry, chocolate, and a hint of eucalyptus that spreads in the mouth. With fine tannins and a long finish, it is a wine that embodies the terroir.

Pairing

Technical Data

The grapes are gently destemmed and optically sorted to select only the best berries. Grapes are gravity transferred to fermentation tanks for a maximum of 5 days of cold soak. Fermentation temperatures are kept below 28°C and gentle pumping over and punching down is used. After 30 days of tank aging, malolactic fermentation takes place spontaneously in new French oak.
Aging: 16-18 months in 40% new French oak barrels and 60% large barrels

About the Winery

Cathiard Vineyard

カティアール・ヴィンヤード

1885年、スコットランドから移民した兄弟ジェームズとウィリアム・レニーがナパ・バレーに土地を購入し、ラザフォードとセントヘレナのAVAにまたがる60エーカーのブドウを植えました。彼らは、ロンドン橋の完成で知られる叔父ジョン・レニー卿の影響を受けた革新的な石造りの重力流ワイナリーを建設しました。しかし、壊滅的な火事とフィロキセラの蔓延により、1920年にワイナリーは閉鎖されました。
