Alcohol: 12.5%
Grape(s): 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Location: Central Valley, California, USA
Tasting Notes: A Carmel Valley Cabernet that's fruit-forward with lustrous blue fruits and a silky whisper of tannin from the special Massa Vineyard.
Notes: Massa Vineyard sits at 1,500 ft elevation in loamy soil. Whole-cluster grapes underwent regular pumpovers during fermentation in stainless steel, then were pressed into neutral French oak barrique and aged for 10 months.
Food Pairing: Excellent with roasted lamb finished with herbs and garlic yogurt; also pairs well with a classic steak dinner.
Winery Story: Broc Cellars, founded in Berkeley in 2002 by Chris Brockway, makes refreshing, approachable wines using native fermentation and organically farmed grapes. From a single barrel start, Broc now releases many small-batch wines annually. The winery emphasizes organic farming, cover crops, sheep for soil management, early harvests for balanced acidity, and minimal intervention in the cellar. Sulfur is avoided during fermentation and added only occasionally at bottling as needed. Broc aims to produce fresh wines that pair with simply made, locally sourced food.
