Sean Minor Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Cellar for up to 8 years. No need to decant before serving. Sean Minor’s initial plans to enter the world of finance where turned on their head when he met his wife, Nicole, and fell in love with winemaking. Before long he went back to school to study winemaking at UC Davis and spent many years working with top wineries in California and Oregon. In 2005 the couple decided it was time to pursue their dreams by founding their own wine label that would fill a gap in the market by creating delicious yet affordable wines with real character. The couple do not own their own vineyards but prefer to purchase grapes under long-term contracts from their trusted partner growers. Fruit is sourced from across California and Oregon’s top wine regions and the Minors work hard to ensure their growers share their commitment to both exceptional quality fruit and sustainability. This robust and powerful Cabernet is crafted from specially selected vineyard parcels in the North Coast area. Once in the winery the different parcels are vinified separately and aged in oak barrels before the final blending takes place. The result is a richly-flavored and intense Cabernet which is bursting with dark berries, luscious spice, and hints of toasted oak.
