"“You’ll never want to leave” given “the wow factor” at this “wine-country experience” within a “luxurious” Rutherford resort, where a “panoramic patio” with “magnificent views” of the Napa Valley vineyards lends a “sensational” backdrop for seasonal menus of “top-flight” Cal-Med fare and a 1,500-label wine list; “graciously” overseen by a “first-class” staff, it’s a “splurge-worthy” destination to put on your bucket list" Full review
