Rutherford Wine Company, Lodi California Predator Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Rutherford Wine Company’s Predator Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is a bold, full-bodied California red that delivers generous dark fruit, spice, and richly layered oak character. Built around 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, with small additions of Petite Sirah and Zinfandel, it offers a polished, crowd-pleasing style with a distinctly ripe Lodi signature.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass, this wine opens with expressive aromas of blackcurrant, cherry, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and toasted oak. The palate is intense and mouth-filling, with dark berry fruit at the core, supported by warm spice, supple tannins, and a long, savory finish. Its full structure and ripe fruit concentration give it good short- to medium-term cellaring potential, though it is also ready to enjoy now for those who prefer a softer, more accessible Cabernet style.

Production
Sourced from California’s Lodi region, a warm-growing area known for producing rich, ripe wines with generous fruit character, this blend reflects the region’s sun-drenched conditions and dependable ripening. The small proportions of Petite Sirah and Zinfandel add depth, color, and spice to the Cabernet Sauvignon base, enhancing the wine’s layered profile and robust texture.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye, roasted lamb, braised short ribs, or burgers topped with sharp cheddar. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if you want to soften the tannins and bring out more of the wine’s aromatic complexity.
