2017 Unturned Stone "Spider Chase" Cabernet Sauvignon, Waterhorse Ridge Vineyard, Fort Ross-Seaview, California, USA

ABOUT THIS WINE

Water Horse Ridge Vineyard is located in the Fort Ross-Seaview appellation, 1700 feet high on Stewart Ridge, with views of the Pacific Ocean to the west. Jesus Velasquez and Patricia Greer planted the 2-acre vineyard in 1997 and farm organically with no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The 2018 season was dry and warm, which made for an excellent vintage at Waterhorse Ridge Vineyard. The resulting wine expresses this with great depth of fruit and tannin, along with Waterhorse Ridge’s signature acidity.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

From the winery: "Unturned Stone was founded in 2010 by Erin Mitchell and Randy Czech, two industry veterans dedicated to traditional wine growing and winemaking in Northern California. We honor Mother Nature’s intentions and the work of our farmers by only sourcing organically grown grapes from Sonoma and Mendocino Counties. All our ferments occur naturally, and we rely on taste and experience rather than lab numbers to guide our winemaking. We do no additions or subtractions in the winery other than minimal sulfur as needed and are firm believers in low intervention winemaking. We believe good wine is grown rather than made and we see ourselves simply as custodians of the process."
