ABOUT THIS WINE
Tom Gore Vineyards holds a unique place in the wine industry as the first major California label named after a grape grower rather than a winemaker. Tom Gore is a second-generation farmer who grew up in Sonoma County's vineyards, helping his father cultivate grapes from the age of seven. His central philosophy is that great wines start with the work of a farmer. Tom works side-by-side with winemaker Maureen Martin, collaborating closely throughout the season to shape and finalize the blends, bridging the gap between everyday accessibility and premium California structure.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for this Cabernet Sauvignon are sourced from select vineyards across California's North Coast and Central Coast. The North Coast vineyards provide intense dark fruit richness and tannic density, while the Central Coast vineyards supply structural backbone and herbal complexity. The wine is produced using traditional red winemaking processes, emphasizing controlled fermentation temperatures and gentle punch-downs for smooth tannin extraction. It is then aged for 16 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels.
