More About 2009 Pella Star Vineyard Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon The 2009 Pella Star Vineyard Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon is the kind of wine whispered among collectors, and with only 90 cases made, its rarity is matched only by its pedigree. Crafted by Kristof Nils Anderson, a former winemaker at Lewis, founding winemaker at Gargiulo Vineyards, and at Scribe, this wine reflects his rare gift for crafting tannins that move with precision and grace, lending structure that dances across the palate. The story of this wine begins in Star Vineyard, a site whose reputation precedes it. Established by Reg Oliver and Ric Forman, and farmed by David Abreu, the vineyard occupies a prime stretch of the Rutherford Bench, flanked by BV's legendary #10 and BV#1 vineyards. From these well-drained, gravel-laced alluvial soils springs Cabernet Sauvignon that marries concentrated, velvet-rich fruit with the unmistakable signature of Rutherford's dust-kissed elegance. With nearly two decades of optimal cellaring, the 2009 has reached a point of breathtaking harmony. The fruit remains vibrant, layered with the subtle complexities only time can coax. It is a fine expression of Anderson's artistry, a wine of profound character and quiet power—order yours now to taste Napa history in its most eloquent form.
