The Rosati Cabernet Sauvignon wines trace their origins to one of California's most illustrious vineyards, Ridge Vineyards. In 1987, Ridge Vineyard’s co-founder, Dave Bennion, took cuttings from the premier vineyard at Jimsomare Ranch to the Rosati Ranch in Southern Mendocino County. There amongst 1,500 steep acres, he chose his favorite hilltop site, and planted ten acres of this extraordinary Cabernet Sauvignon stock.
Twenty years later this boutique and robust vineyard produces 1,000 cases annually. Over the last two decades, the vineyard has been carefully and artfully farmed and harvested to enhance the expression of this rugged site.
Rosati Wine enthusiasts describe the wine as a complex, dark and earthy flavor likened to blackberries, plums, and boysenberries. This is classic, California Cabernet at its best. Its upfront oak and spicy flavors are best paired with elegant, sophisticated and intense meals.
