Timing is everything!

I sampled this bottling three weeks ago and committed to the wine based on what I tasted in the glass and the ridiculously low deal we negotiated. We get our delivery, then two days later the wine receives a 94 Point rating and Editors Choice from Wine Enthusiast!
Needless to say the distributor who had to discount it to me to move it wasn’t happy.
Oh well…. audentes fortuna iuvat (fortune favors the brave) and all of you who shop with us! 

94 Points Editor's Choice The Wine Enthusiast

“This deep and delicious wine holds its black-cherry and black-currant flavors firmly,
with fine-grained tannins as the wine seeps into every corner of the palate,
exuding richness tempered only by lightly restraining acidity and the soft tannins.”

"Sustainability isn’t some philosophical concept;
it’s the way we live our lives."       Clay Shannon

Our Thoughts on this wine.....

This stunning Cabernet Sauvignon is a tale of two appellations within Lake County. Crafted with grapes grown in the High Valley and Red Hills appellations. Together, these vineyards produce a wine with rich cassis aromas marked by notes of lavender and vanilla that lead to raspberry and cherry flavors elevated with a long tobacco and redcurrant finish. Bright fruit, spice, texture, and all of the tannin is a hallmark of the high elevation vineyards of Lake County. The dark fruits, old world characters and dried herbs come from the lower elevations of Lake County. Although it would be great with a filet it’s lush and soft enough to enjoy by itself in the glass.

A bit about Clay Shannon…....

Clay Shannon has always been a bit of a maverick.
In 1996, he decided to buck convention and set out on his own to establish a progressive, pioneering winery and ranch in Lake County, California.
This wild, challenging terrain captured Shannon’s imagination and inspired his uncompromising commitment to the land itself. “We wanted to grow the best fruit possible,” says Clay, “but we wanted to do t in a way that made us happy living there.”
