SEAN MINOR SIGNATURE SERIES CABERNET SAUVIGNON NORTH COAST 2023

Sean Minor founded his eponymous label in 2005 alongside consulting winemaker Will Bucklin, a UC Davis enology graduate who trained at Château Lafite Rothschild and King Estate. Their Signature Series Cabernet Sauvignon sources from California's North Coast AVA, where warm days and cool maritime fog produce concentrated, ripe fruit. The blend—95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot—is fermented in open-top steel tanks, then aged 10 months in French and American oak (20% new). Sustainably produced and vegan, it delivers blackberry and plum on the palate with roasted coffee and mocha on a black pepper-laced finish.
