Estate
Beginning in 2011, we introduced organic farming practices at Laurel Glen Vineyard and upgraded pruning and trellising methods in order to improve concentration and consistency. As the changes we’ve made in the vineyard take effect, the quality of the fruit we harvest has increased. But the quantity of the fruit we harvest has decreased. In order to consistently produce 2,000-3,000 cases of Laurel Glen Counterpoint Cabernet Sauvignon, we have developed relationships with quality oriented neighbors on Sonoma Mountain. In addition to fruit from our estate vineyard, he 2014 vintage of Counterpoint benefits from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from the venerable Pickberry Vineyard, now farmed by Ned Hill, and from Cabernet Sauvignon from the Murray Vineyard, farmed organically by Joe Votek.
Tasting Notes
This unique cab's savory flavors, coupled with bright acid, makes it a tasty food-friendly wine. It has raspberry fruit, coupled with notes of cassis, anise, a hint of mushroom and cracked black pepper. This budget-savvy Counterpoint is a steal for the quality.
