Founding Brothers 2020 Cathiard Vineyard
1880年、兄弟が夢を見た土地から。
1880年にスコットランドを離れ、ナパ・バレーへ渡ったレニー兄弟。5年後に石造りのワイナリーを建て、ラザフォードとセントヘレナにまたがる60エーカーに植えた畑は、いまカティアール家が受け継いでいます。その自社畑のブドウのみで造られるキュヴェです。ダークチェリーとチョコレートに、ユーカリのほのかなニュアンス。深みと凝縮感を備え、細やかなタンニンと長い余韻がラザフォードの個性を伝えます。
Tasting note
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.

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.
