Winemaker Notes
Warm raspberry pie and fresh black currents combine with flavors of cedar and spice in this classic Cabernet. Curl up next to the fire and get those marshmallows ready.
Admirably pure but still punchy, this Cab succeeds on the strength of its core of fruit without any evidence of cellar trickery. Red berry and dark cherry notes show full ripeness but also a fresh edge, and the finish draws definition from tannins that seem more like an extension of the fruit flavors than a distinct textural element. Very smart craftsmanship here.
About Sean Minor Winery
Born in Kansas, Sean Minor was surrounded by agriculture, hard work, and the values responsible for the unwavering work ethic of Midwestern families. The practice of caring for the land and bringing the harvest to the dinner table has always been close to Sean’s heart, and winemaking celebrates this concept to its full extent.
His career in wine began after a formal education in finance from Arizona State University where he also met his wife, Nicole. They moved to California after graduation, where Sean began his fine wine career working for Napa Valley’s Beaulieu Vineyard. He knew right from the start the wine industry was the right place for him. He began taking classes at U.C. Davis in Viticultural and Enology in hopes of developing a further understanding of grape growing and wine production.
