St. Supéry
St. Supéry operates in Rutherford, the heart of Napa Valley's Merlot country. The winery's portfolio centers on Bordeaux varieties and Chardonnay, with three flagship expressions that have drawn attention from Wine Enthusiast and Decanter. The Dollarhide Chardonnay leads the range, a white wine from the region's cooler benchland sites. Élu, a Bordeaux blend of Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot, represents the winery's approach to structured, age-worthy reds. A straight Merlot rounds out the core offerings, anchoring the winery's focus on the varietal that defines Rutherford's terroir. The wines reflect the region's volcanic soils and diurnal temperature swings, which shape the balance between ripeness and acidity that Rutherford is known for.
