Doris Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 2023 White Wine green cardamomSourced from organically farmed vineyards in the Sonoma Valley, the blend is anchored by Cabernet Sauvignon from two vineyards the Springs Ranch in Glen Ellen and a parcel of bush vines from the Waterman Vineyard in Eldridge. These valley floor vineyards give structure and depth due to late ripening. Added to the blend is Merlot from the Pickberry Vineyard on the far side of Sonoma Mountain, adding freshness and a savory edge. Winemaker Daniel O'Brien
