Shannon Ridge High Elevation Collection Cabernet Sauvignon

Clay Shannon has always been a bit of a maverick. In 1996, he decided to buck convention and set out on his own to establish a progressive, pioneering winery and ranch in Lake County, California.This wild, challenging terrain captured Shannon\u2019s imagination and inspired his uncompromising commitment to the land itself. \u201cWe wanted to grow the best fruit possible,\u201d says Clay, \u201cbut we wanted to do it in a way that made us happy living there.\u201dToday, Shannon Family of Wines includes over 2,000 acres of mountain property, roughly half of which is under vine. With the earth\u2019s climate under threat, we\u2019re using our resources to do something about it. This includes transforming 1,000 acres into a regenerative organic farming system that greatly reduces environmental impact. Our home is situated on the ridges of ancient volcanic soil at higher elevations. And while conditions may seem extreme, the guest experience is extraordinary. Rustic charm, stunning lake views, and abundant wildlife underscore the western spirit still alive in Clear Lake. Visitors enjoy award-winning wines, a range of varietals, and great value, all crafted with an approach that puts earth first. At Shannon Family of Wines, we\u2019re true to ourselves and to the land.Alcohol percentage: 14Tasting NotesDecadent blackberry and dried cranberry flavors with notes of pepper and allspice lead to a lengthy, satisfying finish marked by hints of cedar and toasted oak.
