The story behind it
Rutherford Ranch Winery is located on the site of the original Round Hill Winery, founded in 1978 by Ernie and Virginia Van Asperen. Today, the family-owned estate is managed by three generations of the Zaninovich family, who remain dedicated to sustainable farming practices in Napa Valley.
Crafted from select vineyards in the heart of the Napa Valley, this wine benefits from the region's diverse soils and unique microclimates. The winemaking team at the family-owned winery utilizes careful barrel aging to add depth, structure, and complexity to the final blend.
