Why this wine made the cut…
Extroverted, yet multi-dimentional.
Sonoma, California
GRAPE VARIETAL(S)
Cabernet Sauvignon
83% Ca-ber-NAY So-vee-NYON
Cabernet Sauvignon origins are from the Gironde in southwest France, but is now planted across the world in climates that accommodate this late ripening grape. It is the dominant grape in wines made in Bordeaux’s Médoc and Graves regions. This small, thick-skinned grape, produces darkly colored wine, high in tannin and relatively high in acidity with hallmark aromas of blackcurrant and can stylistically change from austere in its youth to lush depending on the region, and winemaking style.
Cabernet Franc
9% Ca-ber-NAY FRANK
Cabernet Franc is grown all over the world, but the best expressions are generally found in France, specifically in the Loire, South West, and Bordeaux as a key part of many blends. Medium bodied and more aromatic than Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc’s aromas can have an herbaceous tinge depending on the ripeness level.
Malbec
8% Mal-BECK
Malbec is native to southwest France, and still makes up 70% of Cahors, and makes high quality varietal wines in Argentina. The wines are Powerful & Extracted with intense flavors and aromas with black fruits, earth, mineral, often with notes of violets.

Winemaker Morgain-Twain Peterson, a Master of Wine, describes his wines as matching his eclectic tastes. The wines are made by hand in a converted chicken coop. He started by partnering with a network of small family-run and dry-farmed vineyards, relationships begun by his father, the founder of Ravenswood winery.
