Caldera Cuvee

Caldera Cuveé is a blended artisanal red wine made the old-fashioned way.

It is a natural, organic California red made by someone with only one goal - if no one ever buys it, am I prepared to drink it all? The resounding answer is, "You Bet!"

The differentiators notable and very real - no wine can equal these qualities - they translate into limited production with only occasional production and in very limited quantities>

Consider – all important and when combined, truly unique:

Original 30-year-old vitis-vinifera vines. No rootstock or clones or grafting anywhere. In researching this, the conclusion I come to is this - approximately 1/10 of one percent of the 3,000,000 acres in the U.S. under vine can make this assertion
Leading to measurably more natural nutrients flowing from soil to grapes. Nutrients = Flavor. Better “plumbing” = greater resistance to disease and pests. HUGE. It can be proven!
The hillsides grapevines love. Come see for yourself!
L-o-n-g growing seasons. Ahhhhhh!
Huge daily temperature swings - as much as 50 degrees
Soils rich with nutrients.
And, the true wonder-soil, calcium-montmorillonite.
11’ spacing between the rows.
Neutral oak - all you taste is the wine! Don't get me started about barrel toasting and how that impacts the taste.
Natural from start-to-finish, including a straw-bale winery. Nature’s yeast!
All leading to great taste - many claiming the best they have ever tasted!
The 2018 wine will be released when we ship the wine to club members in early May
