Latour also hired the famous enologist, André Tchelistcheff, a man credited for single-handedly defining the modern Napa winemaking style. Georges Latour founded Beaulieu Vineyard in 1900, making it the oldest continuous winery in the state.

Gustave Niebaum purchased a large swath of land and completed his winery in 1887, calling it “Inglenook.” Today this remains the oldest bonded winery in California. Thomas Rutherford, responsible for the appellation's name, made serious investments here in grape growing and wine production between the years of 1850 to 1880. It is also home to Napa’s most influential and historic personalities. The sub-appellation claims some of the valley’s most prized vineyards today, namely Caymus, Rubicon and Beckstoffer Georges III. Rutherford Cabernet Sauvingons and Bordeaux Blends garner substantial attention for their enticing fragrances of dusty earth and dried herbs, broad and juicy mid-palates and lush and fine-grained tannins. The result is wine with great structure and complexity. Mountain runoff creates deep, well-drained, alluvial soils on the bench, giving vine roots plenty of reason to permeate deep into the ground. (These bench lands technically run the length of Oakville as well). Inside of the Rutherford AVA, bordering the Mayacamas, is a stretch of uplands called the Rutherford Bench.

Quebrada de Macul has produced a stunning Domus Aurea in 2016, an unusual and different vintage that was much cooler and wetter-a difficult year able of producing the best and the worst. Bravo! Well done! 27,779 bottles produced. Curiously enough, this is the only year the blend has had more than 8% Cabernet Franc, and winemaker Jean-Pascal Lacaze thinks Cabernet Franc (which was better than ever in 2016) has contributed enormously to the nuance and elegance here.

While it keeps the classical Domus style and the Maipo character, it's a lot subtler, fresh and balanced. Community wine reviews and ratings on 2019 Moretta Wines Cabernet Sauvignon, plus professional notes, label images, wine details, and recommendations on when to drink. It's the most elegant Domus to date, with a level of precision that is not easy to achieve. I love this 2016, a subtler wine that is more introverted, shy and serious but with a level of complexity and depth, refinement and nuance I have not seen in any previous vintages. This is radically different from the 2015 I tasted next to it: 2015 was warm and dry, while 2016 cold and wet, and the wines show it. The élevage was in French oak barrels, 53% of them new, and lasted 16 to 18 months.

Part of the wine underwent malolactic in tanks and part in barrel.

After a cold soak that lasted around 12 days, the grapes started fermenting spontaneously in stainless steel. The 2016 Domus Aurea, one of the most classical among the Cabernets from Maipo, contains 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot that were harvested early-ish, before the big rains. 2016 was one of the most unusual vintages in Chile in recent times, as it was much colder than usual and rained a lot.
