COMMENTARY: The 2017 Vanderpump Wines Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon is beautifully-packed and offers excellent length on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine comes to the table with aromas and flavors of black fruits, violets, and a hint of oak. Enjoy it with the first cut from a prime rib. (Tasted: February 15, 2021, San Francisco, CA)
Many decades in the hospitality industry worldwide have cultivated the Vanderpump family’s love for outstanding wine. Lisa and family are delighted to introduce Vanderpump Wines to you, including a special selection of Côtes de Provence Rosé, Sonoma Coast Estate Chardonnay and Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon.
Rosé became a passion of the Vanderpump family after living in the South of France for many years. The family’s affinity for the classic Provence style inspired them to create their very own. In 2017 they decided to launch Vanderpump Rosé, a fresh and bright wine from sun-drenched Côtes de Provence region.
The Vanderpump family has deep roots in California: it is where they call home, where their businesses thrive, and where they focus their philanthropic efforts. The Vanderpump family is excited to introduce these two elegant and delicious wines: Vanderpump Sonoma Coast Estate Chardonnay and Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon. In collaboration with renowned Winemaker Tom Hinde, these wines continue a tradition of excellence in Sonoma, and combine the Vanderpump family’s love of the traditional Old World style with the incredible bounty that California has to offer.
While Sonoma County is acclaimed—and rightfully so—for its Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs, and Zinfandels, it also produces exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. Of the region’s 18 American Viticultural Areas, only a handful produce top-notch Cabernet Sauvignon. These appellations include Alexander Valley, Knights Valley, Sonoma Valley and Dry Creek Valley. Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignons made in these appellations can offer a complex array of aromas and flavors. Fruit notes such as blackberry, blackcurrant, cassis, black cherry and raspberry often are accompanied by hints of graphite, dusty earth, cigar box, toast and vanilla. The varietal has a rich history in Sonoma, and some of these Cabernet Sauvignons and Cabernet-based blends rival the best from Napa Valley.
