2023 Pilcrow, Cabernet Sauvignon "Glass Rock", Pope Valley

Grown on a dry-farmed 7-acre site perched along an ancient geological megaslide in Pope Valley, Glass Rock is rooted in a striking mosaic of silica-rich rocks, including fiery red jasper, white quartz, and multi-colored agate. A benchmark for regenerative farming, the vineyard thrives with no-till practices, non-hedged canopies, over-wintering cattle, and dedicated wildlife corridors. Sara and Jonah Beer are on a mission to craft site-driven, low-intervention Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons that revive the understated elegance, lower alcohol, and terroir-focused purity of the region's legendary 1970s golden era.

Paired with minimal intervention, native yeast fermentations, and minimal new oak, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon delivers a zesty, saline-driven freshness, bright red-fruit focus, and remarkably fine-grained tannins. It stands as a brilliant showcase of low-intervention Napa winemaking where soil minerality, high-toned aromatics, and varietal purity take center stage over heavy-handed oak.

Critical Acclaim:

Decanter Magazine Logo

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Unique Silica-Rich Terroir: Rooted in red jasper, quartz, and agate, imparting an electric, mineral-driven acidity and bright red-fruit energy.

  • Low-Intervention Purity: Native fermentations and minimal new oak keep the wine light on its feet with zero flab or hyper-extraction.

  • Regenerative Farming Pioneer: Sourced from a dry-farmed, no-till site that represents the gold standard of holistic viticulture in Napa Valley.

How to Serve It:

  • Decanting: Decant for 45 to 60 minutes to highlight its high-toned aromatics and vibrant mineral core.
