Our winemaking philosophy at O’Shaughnessy winery is to produce Cabernet Sauvignon that expresses the unique character of our vineyards from the Howell Mountain and  Mount Veeder  region. The winemaking style is contemporary, utilizing cutting edge fermentation equipment paired with natural hands on winemaking. Our emphasis is on balance; the concentrated nature of the grapes from our estate vineyards needs to be in balance with the flavors and aromas in order to produce the most harmonious wine.

Deep, dark ruby red color with a vibrant purple hue and an almost opaque core. Complex aromas of black cherry, black currant, tobacco, sandalwood, leather, smoked meats and chocolate. This wine has a purity of place and minerality with black pepper, orange rind and soy sauce qualities. Mixed red berry flavors and sweet vanilla cream with an excellent acid, tannin balance that lingers on the palate. An elegant yet extracted wine that is impressive upon release but will continue to improve with cellaring.
