2017 Cazadero Winery Cabernet Sauvignon: A Sonoma Coast Gem Awarded Excellence

Savor the rich complexity of Cazadero Winery’s 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon—a celebrated single-vineyard wine crafted from handpicked grapes grown in Sonoma Coast’s premier Bei Ranch vineyard. This limited-release varietal earned its place among top-tier wines with a Gold Medal at the 2024 Sonoma County Harvest Fair, showcasing its exceptional quality and craftsmanship.

Nestled at 1,600 feet elevation on a rugged ridge-top in Northwest Sonoma County, Bei Ranch offers an ideal terroir for premium Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard’s rocky soils and cool coastal microclimate—shaped by warm summer days followed by fog-kissed nights—create grapes with intense flavor depth and balanced acidity. This unique environment is further enriched by pure spring water from the nearby Sonoma Coast Rainforest, ensuring each cluster thrives sustainably amid redwood-lined landscapes where nature meets viticulture artistry.

Crafted with meticulous care by Cazadero’s expert winemakers, this wine delivers a velvety texture and bold character without overpowering richness. Expect aromas of dark cherry and cassis complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and spice from careful oak aging. On the palate, layers of blackberry and tobacco meld seamlessly with smooth tannins and a lingering finish—a perfect match for hearty meals like grilled steak or aged cheeses, or simply enjoyed as an indulgent sip after dinner.

At 13.4% alcohol, this Cabernet strikes an elegant balance between power and refinement, standing out among wines from neighboring regions that often lean heavier on tannins or alcohol content. Whether you’re seeking a standout addition to your cellar or a gift for discerning wine lovers, this single-vineyard Sonoma Coast Cabernet offers unmatched authenticity rooted in its extraordinary origin story.
