Hailing from one of California's most historic vineyards, the Bedrock Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the deep viticultural roots of Sonoma Valley. Originally planted in 1854 by General William Tecumseh Sherman and later owned by Senator George Hearst, the Bedrock Vineyard is famed for its ancient field blends, but it also coaxes extraordinary depth from its Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Grown in the vineyard's cobbly, well-drained volcanic soils, this wine is crafted using traditional, low-intervention methods, including fermentation with native yeasts and aging in French oak barrels. The result is an old-school, structured California Cabernet that eschews modern over-extraction in favor of savory complexity, bright acidity, and intense dark fruit notes of blackberry and cassis, framed by firm, age-worthy tannins.
