"Half of the fruit for the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from 15 acres of the grape planted at Bedrock Vineyard, which in the past was sold to another winery. I wanted really well farmed, organic fruit as a base for this entry-level Cabernet Sauvignon, owner and winemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson, MW says, noting that much of the rest of the fruit is declassified from the Monte Rosso and Montecillo single-vineyard Cabernets. Deep ruby-purple, it offers detailed scents of blackcurrant, blueberry, violet, juniper and thyme. The full-bodied palate is light on its feet with juicy acidity, soft, supple tannins nestled into its perfumed fruit and a long, iron-laced finish."

"A hearty, structured and vibrant red with the classic cabernet aromas of black cherries and blackcurrants on a firm, full texture. Full tannins wrap around black fruit, espresso and dried blueberries that linger in the finish. Drink now or hold."

"Meant to be an entry-level wine, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County) is positively stellar. Black cherry, gravel, lavender, mocha, licorice and spice are all dialed up. In its first vintages, this bottling was made from leftovers, but in 2023 the approach is more deliberate, and it shows."
