Geyser Peak Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 1995
(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. 

Ratings & Reviews

89 Points - Wine Spectator:
"Dark, ripe, rich and concentrated, with pretty black cherry, currant, anise and sage flavors, pretty toasty oak nuances, too. Gains complexity on the finish where the flavors fold together nicely. Best from 2000 through 2007. 8,100 cases made." - JL (Oct 1998)
