Glassmaker Cabernet Sauvignon Cole Ranch 2020

Vibrant dark ruby color, with fresh aromas of cassis, strawberry, rose petal and green herbs. Medium light texture in the mouth with gentle spice layered in. Clean and elegant.

Vineyard: Cole Ranch, Cole Ranch AVA, Ukiah, Mendocino. Coastal mountain terroir of alluvial soils, planted in the early 1970s. USDA organic farming

Making of: the grapes were destemmed and gently fermented with pump-overs and occasional punch-downs, to preserve the flower aromas. Pressed and then aged for 6 months in barrel. Unfined, unfiltered, 20 ppm at bottling.

Personality: “This wine is so pretty! Flowers, roses, cherries. It speaks to the coastal mountain terroir of alluvial soils, cold nights and cool air from the redwood canyons,” the winemaker says.
