Sadler Wells Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon: Sadler-Wells Wines are made of only the finest grapes grown in Sonoma County. Both our Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir were styled with enough forward fruit to enjoy upon release and with enough structure to cellar for several years to come. As is our preference, these wines are a pleasure by themselves or as a complement to your favorite foods.

The California Cabernet Sauvignons will undoubtedly be the best cabernets since the highly regaled 1997. The long growing season brought us excellent fruit concentration and firm tannins. Once again we sourced grapes from 3 different vineyards; the majority is sourced from one in the Mayacamus mountain range that is truly a 'gem' property, one in the Sonoma mountains and one from the valley in Kenwood. This wine is 100% cabernet sauvignon.

About Estate:
One of the advantages of making such small lots of wine is that we can be intimately involved with the development of our wines from the ground up. We are in the vineyard throughout the year, working side-by-side with our growers to manage the vines in accordance with our winemaking style. This is an important part of what we do, given that much of a wine's character is determined in the vineyard.

For example, structure is key for our Sonoma Valley Cabernet, which is a blend of mountainside blocks located on Sonoma and Mayacamas Mountains where the vines are planted to thin volcanic soils. The resulting vine stress causes low yields and high flavor concentration. Developing good concentration on the vine allows us to minimize flavor extraction during fermentation- a process than can leave a wine with harsh tannins. We enhance the blend with grapes from a block we cultivate in Southern Sonoma Valley near the famed Sangiacomo Vineyards. The diversity of mountain grown and valley floor fruit adds layers of complexity to the final blend.

Grapes for our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir are from the Franco Vineyard, located in the Sonoma Hills adjacent to famed Pinot Noir grower Durell Vineyard. This area is particularly well suited to Pinot Noir given the cooling coastal influences - morning fog and afternoon winds - that lengthen the growing season. The extra time the grapes spend on the vine, or 'hang-time' as it's called, promotes incredibly ripe flavors and good acid balance. As a result our Pinot Noir has the substance to develop luscious complexity in barrel, integrating rather than being overwhelmed by the oak.
