Shadybrook Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

The Shadybrook Estate story begins with Alice and David Alkosser’s inherent love of the land and deep passion for fine wine. Having traveled around the world visiting and learning about wine regions, they centered their focus on Napa Valley starting in 2005. Four years later, they discovered a magnificent vineyard property in the hills of Coombsville and decided to create an estate where all of their dreams could be realized. After acquiring another two adjacent parcels, they immediately implemented the best quality viticultural and sustainable practices in order to take the existing estate vines to the next level. By the 2010 harvest, Alice and David had convinced Rudy Zuidema, a prestigious winemaker in the valley, to experiment vinifying the fruit of their new vineyard. To their delight, the resulting wine was of a quality even beyond their expectations. The market concurred and created a success story that has led them to continue producing these amazing wines ever since.

Shadybrook Estate Winery is located in the heart of Coombsville, a gem of the region with a state-of-the-art winery, an indoor tasting room, a commercial kitchen and a luxurious 4,000 square foot outdoor tasting patio overlooking the properties 12 acres of premium vineyard. Here is the perfect home for Shadybrook Estate Winery.

Deep ruby in color, this expressive cool climate Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon opens elegantly with fragrances of fresh cherry, wet earth, and mocha powder. With the first sip you will taste the boldness and weight of this wine followed by flavors of boysenberry preserves, earthy pine, black tea and licorice. The structured tannins and velvety texture lead way to a balanced, lingering finish. The 2018 vintage is built to be enjoyed now or aged gracefully for up to 12 years. -Rudy Zuidema, Winemaker
