- Tasting Notes: Layered, seductive aromatics fill the glass with black currant and ripe boysenberry laced with sweet vanilla, toasty oak, minerality, and hints of chocolate and coconut. Bright, mouthwatering acidity reveals vine-ripened black raspberry and dark cherry with traces of blueberry and mocha. Dusty tannins and integrating oak offer a gentle framework for the wine. As the flavors linger in the finish, a touch of Valrhona chocolate merges with the luscious berry essence. Enjoy with a pairing of grilled New York strip steak topped with caramelized onions and Gorgonzola cheese, or spicy blueberry pork tenderloin served with roasted potatoes./li>
About the Brand
About the Brand
2003 was the first vintage Cache Creek Vineyards sold grapes to wineries in Napa and Lake County, and the response to the fruit was excellent. In 2004, Bill Van Pelt passed away. His son Don, who was managing the vineyard and property for the family, wanted to acknowledge Bill’s legacy. With vineyards producing exquisite grapes, Don, with the support of the Van Pelt family, decided to create a winery that honored their father and his dream of the Tule Elk sanctuary.
Today Don, his wife Margie, and their daughter Kaitlyn Wright manage the day-to-day operations of the winery. The grapes used in Cache Creek wines are 100% estate grown. An image of a Tule Elk adorns every bottle of our wine. Bill Van Pelt’s vision, love for the property, and his bond with the Tule Elk live on through the winery, the vineyards, and his family.
