100% Cabernet Sauvignon
History
As the only 100% varietal wine from ROWEN Wine Company, Cooley Ranch Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is the pure embodiment of Cabernet Sauvignon grown on the historic Cooley Ranch, a majestic high-elevation vineyard above the fog line, where red-Bordeaux varietals thrive.
The Vineyards
Bordeaux varietals thrive on steep terrain and volcanic soil and, our Cooley Ranch is precisely the kind of landscape they love, with elevations ranging from 800 to 2,040 feet and influenced by cool Pacific breezes. Cooley Ranch is blessed with a bright red, volcanic-based soil that is sought after for its high-quality grape-growing potential and one of the reasons our winemakers carefully selected this land to plant on. Also, due to being above the fog line, Cooley warms up during harvest to allow for hotter growing temperatures and extra tannin development. All of this provides beautifully ripened fruit and balanced acidity ultimately reflecting the best of our superior lots of Bordeaux varietals.
