BloodRoot Cabernet Sauvignon

BloodRoot Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Cabernet Sauvignon • Sonoma County, California

Dark cherry, plum, a whiff of coffee grounds and sage, then something floral — rose, maybe lavender — on the finish. Juicy and round on the palate with a soft tannin structure that doesn't demand food, but absolutely welcomes it.

Practicing organic, sourced from vineyards across Knights Valley, Rockpile, Sonoma Valley, and Dry Creek Valley — the kind of scatter-lot blending that only works if you have access and intention. The 2022 was a warm vintage, which filled the glass with depth and ripe dark-berry character, but the cooler nights unique to each site brought the savory notes, the mineral cut. Classic California Cabernet in the vein of the seventies and eighties, when the goal was elegance and balance over power. This is that approach.

Pair it with: Grilled steak, beef stew with root vegetables, aged cheddar on walnut bread or ted bread, your choice.
