Laurel Glen Vineyard, a thousand feet up the slopes of Sonoma Mountain, has long been considered one of the iconic Cabernet vineyards of California. Originally planted to Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1960’s, the present-day vineyard was developed in the 1970’s by Sonoma wine pioneer Patrick Campbell. The vineyard’s combination of high altitude, eastern exposure, rocky soils, and small diurnal temperature swings combine to produce memorable wines, rooted in a sense of place.

Winemaker Notes

The fruit for the 'Counterpoint' bottling comes from Laurel Glen Vineyard, which is 14 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon planted in 1968, CCOF Certified Organic and Pickberry Vineyard, which is 30 acres of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. The blend is predominately Cabernet Sauvignon from the Laurel Glen Vineyard, with the remainder consisting of Merlot and Malbec from the Pickberry Vineyard. The wine ages for 20 months in French oak, of which roughly 40% is new.  

Cab Sauv 81% / Merlot 14% / Malbec 5%

Tasting Notes -  This wine is soft and approachable.. On the palate, flavors of baked plum, dark cherry, and a baking spice and toasted oak.
