Coombsville is cool and fresh and often wind-swept. The aspect is Northwest by West and the slope is steep. All of this rolls up into one very bright, very crunchy, almost salty type of Cabernet Sauvignon. Singular. Unconventional beauty. That's why this is our "Bette Davis" wine.

When Al and Boots found the tucked-away corner of Napa that they called “Diamond Creek” it was their eureka moment. Jonah felt the same way about discovering Glass Rock. F-ing eur-eka.


Inspiration


Al and Boots Brounstein took the concept of terroir in Cabernet Sauvignon and showed the world that vineyards didn’t have to be miles apart to reveal a unique personality. No, they could be quite literally next to one another but as long as they had their differentiators they could be magical. Be that a meadow, unique color, fiery origin, or a lake.

Glass Rock Cabernet Sauvignon

“From a dry-farmed, organically grown, non-hedged, no-till vineyard that sits along the stair-step of another nested megaslide. The soils offer a geological mosaic of silica-rich rock— ranging from red jasper to white quartz to multi-coloured agate. Over-wintering cows and dedicated habitat corridors make this site a model for truly regenerative farming.”
