Dark and seductive with lush blackberry and rich, dense flavors; ripe and showing vanilla and velvety texture.
The wines are designed by winemaker Bryce Willingham to push sensory limits to the edge.
“My passion is fueled by the constant challenge and fulfillment of this job – now more than ever as I create and finesse this new and dynamic blend for Ravage. Watching Ravage come to life, from the premium Cabernet Sauvignon lots we selected, to the phenomenal high-tier French oak, to the finished bottle in hand, has been a reminder of why I love what I do. The ability to be involved in building this brand, not only as winemaker but as a spokesperson, has been dream come true” ~
Bryce Willingham, Winemaker
Covering the most vine acreage in the state compared to any other red wine variety, Cabernet Sauvignon produces as much wine in California as Merlot and Pinot Noir combined. The state’s diverse terrain and microclimates, as well as the freedom of its winemakers, allow for an incredible range of wine styles from this single grape.
California’s most famous region—and especially for Cabernet Sauvignon—is the acclaimed Napa Valley. While Cabernet is successful throughout the world, rarely has it achieved such merit as it does from the Napa Valley. At this point the two are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other.
Napa’s closest neighbor, Sonoma County, does an impressive job keeping up with Napa’s fame and glory. Alexander Valley, Sonoma Mountain, Moon Mountain and Knights Valley contribute to the lot of some of California’s top-rated Cabernet Sauvignon.
Lake County in California’s North Coast has become a focus for some of Napa’s more respected growers. From the Central Coast come iconic examples of classic California Cabernet; Lodi and the Sierra Foothills are great budget-friendly sources of amicable Cabernets.
