Winemaker Notes
Drinkable now, this masterpiece small production 100% Cabernet Sauvignon will age beautifully for 10 to 15 years with proper cellaring.
Our extraordinary 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon is the perfect wine to enjoy gourmet Italian and California cuisine.
Lorenzo Petroni's wine making dream was to be the first California vintner to grow Gold Medal winning Brunello di Montalcino cloned Sangiovese Grosso grapes that would equal and surpass Italy's most highly prized red wine!
Lorenzo Petroni's passion to produce the highest quality California estate wines and extra virgin olive oil came from his 35-years culinary expertise in serving authentic Tuscan cuisine in San Francisco's famous North Beach Restaurant.
While Sonoma County is acclaimed—and rightfully so—for its Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs, and Zinfandels, it also produces exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. Of the region’s 18 American Viticultural Areas, only a handful produce top-notch Cabernet Sauvignon. These appellations include Alexander Valley, Knights Valley, Sonoma Valley and Dry Creek Valley. Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignons made in these appellations can offer a complex array of aromas and flavors. Fruit notes such as blackberry, blackcurrant, cassis, black cherry and raspberry often are accompanied by hints of graphite, dusty earth, cigar box, toast and vanilla. The varietal has a rich history in Sonoma, and some of these Cabernet Sauvignons and Cabernet-based blends rival the best from Napa Valley.
