2021 Mi Sueño Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon Dos Sueños

 

DOUBLE GOLD

San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition 2025

Over the years, Rutherford AVA has been known as one of the more premium locations to source from. Rolando has been farming Rutherford for over twenty years. Dos Sueños vineyard lies in the Eastern Benchland in Rutherford, where the soil tends to be the coarsest and most gravelly—perfect for intense 30+ year old Cabernet vines. This small 2-acre hillside vineyard sits near Auberge du Soliel Hotel, where the combination of well-drained loam soils and more sun exposure than any other AVA, creates some of the best Rutherford Cabernet.

Vineyard Notes
The 2021 vintage will be remembered for low yields with intensely flavored, small-sized berries and a smooth and uneventful harvest season. The season started off with very little rain, leading to the 2nd year of drought conditions in Napa Valley. Harvest began early with white wine grapes being picked on July 30th and red wine grapes in the beginning of August 31st. While concerning in the long term, the drought of 2021 resulted in a more natural load on the vines, requiring less pruning and dropping of fruit. The resulting grapes are packed full of flavor. What an amazing vintage for Rutherford.
Production Notes
Hand harvested at the coolest hours of night, the grapes were skillfully sorted in the vineyard, and then transported to the cellar for processing. After harvest ends, the wine will be racked into 70 percent new French oak barrels and aged for 22 months prior to bottling.
Tasting Notes
Intense inky and almost black in color, with complex aromas of molasses, ripe dark fruits, black plums, black currants, cocoa nibs, toasted coffee bean, and subtle inviting hints of violet. In the entrance, the wine is full of structure and showcases, rich supple tannins dominated by flavors of rich dark chocolate, cherry, plum, sweet cherry oak, leather and so much more. It’s velvety, mouthcoating, with a finish that wants to live on.
Food Pairing Notes
For the perfect pairing, try our local Napa restaurant Cole’s Chophouse’s Provimi Veal Chops with Sautéed Mushrooms, Garlic, Shallots, Red wine Veal Reduction and Truffle Oil.
