Overview
Founded in 1972, Rutherford Hill was one of those original few. Who, in pioneering Bordeaux varietals defined the standard that Napa Valley has become renowned for across the world. Our AJT Collection reflects our most treasured estate vineyards celebrating the legacy of Anthony J. Terlato, our beloved patriarch and founder. We see very vintage as an opportunity to express the incredible depth of character our estate fruit offers, with balance, elegance, and poise. Employing state of the art techniques, using carefully selected parcels of fruit and only the finest French oak barrel regimen, nothing is left to chance in our pursuit of perfection.
