AJT Vineyard in Rutherford reflects our most treasured estate vineyards celebrating the legacy of Anthony J. Terlato, our beloved patriarch and founder.

Tasting Notes

Expressive aromas of black raspberry and boysenberry are layered with warm spice, chai, and subtle spice box notes. A rich palate of black cherry unfolds into complex layers of clove and vanilla, beautifully reflecting Rutherford's distinctive character. The wine finishes long, dense, and elegantly structured, with remarkable depth and persistence.

"The AJT Collection Cabernet Sauvignon is graced with boysenberry, smashed plum, mocha – creamy and broad across the palate. Spiced cinnamon cedar and a hint of blood orange and iron engage on mid-palate. An inviting red, with a powerful, confident presence."

"The AJT Collection Cabernet Sauvignon offers a classic Napa expression, bursting out of the glass with blackberry and spiced plum fruit, cola nut, vanilla, and cedarwood. Brighter strawberry tones linger at mid-palate, framed by supple tannins and a firm, mineral-rich finish." -Jonathan Cristaldi

91 Points | Jeb Dunnuck

"The clear standout here, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon AJT Collection offers ripe currant and cassis fruits intermixed with chocolaty oak, graphite, and loamy earth. It's medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, and balanced, with firmer tannins that should round into form with 2-3 years of bottle age. It should drink nicely over the following decade. Drink 2025-2035."
