2018 Iron Rock Cellars North Coast, California Cabernet Sauvignon

You have arrived in California’s North Coast wine country. Here, mere blocks from the main highways, vast stretches of grapevines extend to the horizon. Every so often, the farther north one ventures, some of the vineyards hug the road, tempting passersby to take a closer look and perhaps visit a beckoning winery’s tasting room.

Given its vast area and numerous microclimates, the North Coast region is home to virtually every popular grape variety, providing winemakers with a smorgasbord of options for their single-variety elixirs and multi-variety cuvees.

Iron Rock Cellars procured the fruit for its 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon from North Coast growers, and transformed the perfectly ripened grapes into a multi-layered wine that’s complex yet accessible. Its fruit flavors are complemented by earth and oak notes, and it stands tall as a delicious example of North Coast quality.
