Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
While the Rutherford appellation is primarily known for producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, we have meticulously selected and cultivated clones of Petit Verdot and Malbec that are ideally suited to the Estate's terroir. The combination of Estate-grown Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon come together to make our 2013 Abela Vineyard Red Wine.
Food Pairing Notes
This wine can be enjoyed with a roasted venison loin, tender pork chops, or alongside a delicious vegetarian ratatouille.
