Tortoise Creek, Cabernet Sauvignon Cherokee Lane Lodi 2021

The Tortoise Creek “Cherokee Lane” Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards in the mineral-rich sandy to clay loam soils of Lodi, California. The vineyards take advantage of the gap between the northern and southern coastal ranges surrounding the San Francisco Bay. As the day’s temperature rises, cool breezes drift in from the Delta, keeping the nights cool which is ideal for developing complex long finishing wines.

Winemaking: Extended maceration was used to add depth, structure, and complexity to the wine. The red fermentation tanks are specially designed to give winemakers complete control of the fermentation and rate of extraction. Forty percent of our blend has a year of American and French oak aging.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon

FOOD PAIRING: grilled meats, sausages or stews.

SUSTAINABLE.
