2022 Plural Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma Coast
This is a Cabernet Sauvignon of feminine grace, silky tannins, and boundless aromatics. It leads with aromas of cocoa nibs, violets, and bay laurel. On the palate, it offers graphite mixed with spiced herbs, hints of green olive and brined walnuts.
“The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Plural is a bright, savory wine – the sort of Cabernet that can only be made on the Sonoma Coast. Savory herbs, mint, licorice and earthy notes meld together in this super distinctive, cool-climate Cabernet… Bright saline underpinnings extend the finish… It’s a gorgeous wine in every way.

The Richardson family history along the Sonoma Coast began in 1876. With grit, determination and five generations of hard work, the family acquired thousands of acres of timberland and miles of the Sonoma coastline near Annapolis and Stewarts Point. From the beginning, they operated with a deep conservation ethos. In 2016, they worked with the Save The Redwoods League to permanently preserve a significant old-growth redwood forest, including the oldest known redwood tree, which is about 1,640 years of age.
In 2019, just 4.5 miles from the ocean and alongside these massive coastal redwoods, they planted our blocks in their first vineyard, using budwood we provided.
