Gail Wines Doris Cabernet Sauvignon
Produced by Dan O’Brien who honed his craft at Larkmead, Cultivar and Long Meadow Ranch. The Doris Cabernet is sourced from three, organically farmed vioneyards in Sonoma Valley. Two, late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon sites anchor the blend: Warm Springs Ranch in Glen Ellen and a parcel of bush vines from the Waterman Vineyard in Eldridge—both valley floor vineyards known for producing structured, wines with plenty of depth. The Merlot comes from the Pickberry Vineyard on the far side of Sonoma Mountain, where cooler conditions and compact clay soils lend lift, freshness, and a savory edge to the blend. These sites are planted amongst live oaks, pines, eucalyptus offering the distinctive fragrance of Sonoma's iconic forests, and it shows in the wine. Plush, textured and juicy without being overly rich - notes of blue fruit float over forest trees.
