Our 815 Cabernet Sauvignon reflects what each appellation gives to the wine. Fruit from Napa Valley lends complexity and Sonoma adds a touch of spice to the blend. Lake County vineyards add structured tannins and minerality while Mendocino fruit gives the wine its dark color and rich, fruit flavors. Rounding out the blend, our Lodi fruit is characterized by rich flavor and soft texture and fruit from the Central Coast adds spice and acidity. We source from these varied regions throughout California to create an elegant, balanced wine.

Across California, the growing season experienced a dry winter with mild spring and summer temperatures followed by a late summer heatwave, resulting in an earlier than usual harvest. These conditions produced smaller, more concentrated fruit clusters resulting in great flavor and acidity making for a complex and well-balanced wine.

Following harvest, the grapes from each vineyard were sorted and destemmed, then fermented into individual lots. As the lots are aged in oak for 16 months, the barrels are tasted frequently to assess tannin and flavor development. Finally, the lots were blended to balance the characteristics of each grape growing region.
