Paul Dolan Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Mendocino 2023

For years now, Paul Dolan has been a pioneer in Mendocino County, with a respect for the land and farming practices that go well above the norm. In the summer, the vineyard is full of drought-tolerant and heat-loving species including sunflowers, safflower, and cowpeas. Plants surrounding the vines are an essential prerequisite for a thriving ecosystem in a vineyard that is alive with countless insect species, small ground animals, and an array of birds from the beautiful Western Bluebirds to hawks and owls.

Their Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from two single vineyard sites in the heart of Mendocino County – La Ribera Vineyard and Home Ranch Vineyard. Bounded by the Russian River and Mayacamas mountains, La Ribera Vineyard is a patchwork of soils and a perfect medium for growing bright aromatic fruit.
