WINEMAKER NOTES:
The McGah family’s history in Northern California began over a century ago when our great grandfather, E.W. McGah, first put down roots in the San Francisco Bay area. The McGah family continues to reside on the 65 acres of vineyards in the heart of Rutherford and representing over four generations of wine growers, the family’s personal touch can be felt from the soil to the glass.
“GREAT WINE IS MADE FROM 100% THE WINEMAKER, 100% THE VINEYARD AND 100% MOTHER NATURE’S MOOD DURING HARVEST”
— Mike Smith
TASTING NOTES:
The 2018 McGah Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a brooding, complex, and beautiful Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon that can only be made in this storied appellation. The uplifting aromatics showcase multiple layers of black cassis, red fruits, and earthy components known for this terroir. The mid palate is perfectly balanced with abundant blue, red and black fruits, followed by a full-bodied mouthfeel that hovers across the spectrum of the palate. Perfectly integrated structure and polished tannins lead to a detailed and long finish that carries the signature Rutherford dust component that our wines are known for. A blend from five of our Cabernet Sauvignon blocks on the estate, this wine showcases the unparalleled terroir of the McGah Vineyard. Allow 2-3 years for the tannins and fruit to come together or enjoy it in its prime 5-10 years out.
