Geyser Peak Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 1992
(Alexander Valley, California)

About the Winery:

Founded in 1880 as California’s 29th bonded winery, Geyser Peak Winery has more than 140 years of winemaking history in Sonoma County. Originally located perched on a hillside across from Geyser Peak Mountain, its namesake, it commanded a view of the thermal steam clouds that billowed from the mountain summit. Geothermal activity in the region afforded diverse soil profiles, optimal for growing wine grapes. This later inspired the winery’s motto of “Reach for the Peak”, a mission of seeking out the utmost quality.

Crafted in small lots and fermented separately, then blended together to achieve full expression, balance and character, Geyser Peak wines are sourced from prime vineyards that capture the essence of Sonoma and the appellation’s unique terroir, offering sophistication and ease, elevation and approachability, and taking us from casual days to connoisseur nights. 

About this Wine:

This is a big, rich complex Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep, inky crimson in color. The nose is dominated by lifted berry and casis fruit combined with smoky barrel ferment and sweet vanilla and cedar oak characters. The palate has great depth of concentrated Cabernet fruit and a backbone of fine-ground tannins. A classic Alexander Valley Cabernet. Due to the limited handling, this wine may develop a small amount of sediment over time.
