Geyser Peak Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
Overview
 |
Deep ruby-red in color, this wine is fruit forward with nuanced tannins. Concentrated aromas of blackcurrant, ripe cherry, cola, eucalyptus, mocha and tilled earth carry over into a balanced palate. Smooth mid-palate tannins support the fruit through a pleasing finish. |
Wine Facts
VITICULTURE: The 2023 Geyser Peak Cabernet Sauvignon is a carefully crafted blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Petite Sirah, with 12% of the Cabernet sourced from the renowned Alexander Valley AVA, known for its rich, expressive fruit. Additionally, 4% of the Petite Sirah comes from the Red Hills in Lake County, contributing depth and structure to the final wine.
INTERESTING FACT: Geyser Peak was named for the tremendous view of Geyser Peak Mountain directly outside the original winery’s window.
FAMILY: Geyser Peak Winery has a long and storied history. Founded in 1880, it became the 29th bonded winery in California. The brand has seen a storied past of over 140 years, founded by a local family, changing hands multiple times including management by corporate interests. Today, Geyser Peak has proudly returned to its roots as a family-owned-and-operated business, sourcing fruit from famed winegrowing regions of California. The essence of California terroir can be tasted throughout the range of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. The motto, “Reach for the Peak,” was coined to refer to seeking the utmost quality in wine. It’s inarguable that it has.
Derek Irwin is the new winemaker for Geyser Peak. He started his wine career in 1994 after graduating from UC Davis and has a deep knowledge and understanding of the California wine industry having consulted for wineries in various California wine regions.
