Beyer Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon

The Beyer family is no stranger to Californian viticulture, as their vineyards are still in full use. The Wente family, who took over the vineyards, are making truly fantastic wines. This red Cabernet Sauvignon wine is a kind of tribute to the family that once gave everything to make California wines great. Well, they more than succeeded, and with this inspiration, the Wente winemaker now makes this beautiful red Beyer Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon.

The harvest of the Cabernet Sauvignon

The old vineyard is truly unique, we can safely say. The Beyer family had a knack for planting the right grape variety in the right spot. This red Cabernet Sauvignon also enjoys the best location in California, with plenty of sunshine and cooling winds. This gives the harvest time to mature quietly and absorb everything from the rich soil structure. The soil, composed primarily of clay and gravel, is a treasure trove for this red wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon draws immense strength from this soil and is harvested entirely by hand at ideal ripeness.
