About Metzker Family Estates
Metzker Family Estates carries the German-heritage family surname of the Metzker family — from the German Metzger, the butcher, an occupational surname given to those who cut and prepared meat in the medieval German guild system. The butcher's precision in cutting — the knowledge of exactly where to cut, the skill of separating what is from what can be — translates metaphorically to winemaking's similar decisions about when to harvest, how to blend, where the cuts in the barrel selection are made.
The estate produces Cabernet Sauvignon from Rutherford Bench vineyard sources alongside Carneros Chardonnay, with the German occupational-surname precision the Metzker name implies.
