EXCELLENT · CRITICS' CONSENSUS

Rutherford Merlot and Petite Sirah rated 92 by major critics.

Swanson produces wines from Rutherford, the heart of Napa Valley's Cabernet country. The winery's portfolio centers on Bordeaux and Rhône varieties, with particular strength in Merlot and Petite Sirah. The Salon Selection Merlot and Arsene Petite Sirah both achieve 92-point averages among prestige critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff. The Alexis Cabernet Sauvignon, rated 91.2 by the same panel, reflects the region's signature dark-fruit intensity and structural precision. Rutherford's gravelly soils and diurnal temperature swings create conditions for wines of depth and aging potential—qualities evident across Swanson's core releases.
