The Sullivan familyThe Sullivan family — who established the Galleron Road Rutherford Bench property in 1972 and have continuously farmed and produced estate wine through multiple generations of family stewardship — provide one of the most genuinely personal and family-warmly-welcoming appointment tasting experiences available on the Rutherford wine trail.
✓
The Rutherford BenchThe Rutherford Bench terrain that the Sullivan family has farmed since 1972 provides the specific alluvial and clay soil character that André Tchelistcheff identified as producing the most distinctively mineral and food-first Cabernet Sauvignon in the Napa Valley — the Rutherford Dust character that has defined the appellation's most beloved wine style for three generations of California Cabernet Sauvignon production.
