Varietal Cabernet Sauvignon
Winemaking The grapes (88% Cabernet Sauvignon & 12% Malbec, Merlot, Petite Verdot, and Cabernet Franc) hail from four sub-AVAs of Sonoma County - Dry Creek Valley (40%), Alexander Valley (30%), Moon Mountain (20%), and Knights Valley (10%). Combining varietals, elevations, aspects, climates, and soil types allows us to blend the components for a seamless composition. In the cellar, hand-harvested and hand-sorted grapes undergo an extended cold soak followed by primary fermentation in stainless steel. Following primary fermentation, the wine is racked to French oak barrels (new, second-use, and neutral) for malolactic conversion and 16 months of aging. The barrel regimen is approximately 30% new oak, including Atelier, Sylvain, Taransaud, and Seguin Moreau cooperages.

The Character
Tasting Notes This wine bursts with flavors of boysenberry and blueberry extract, backed by a rich layer of dark chocolate. The fruit feels plush and inviting, balanced by compact tannins that give it just the right amount of structure. Smooth, flavorful, and indulgent, it finishes with an effortless elegance that keeps you coming back for another sip.

The Story
Valravn Cabernet Sauvignon is typically a blend of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with a small percentage of supporting varieties (such as Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petite Syrah, Petite Verdot, Malbec, and Syrah). The grapes hail from several sub-AVAs of Sonoma County - typically Dry Creek Valley, Knight’s Valley, Moon Mountain, and Alexander Valley, depending on vintage. Combining varietals, elevations, aspects, climates, and soil types allows us to blend the components for a seamless composition.
About Valravn
Producer Story
We have been making wine in Sonoma County for over ten years now, and along the way, established a dynamic network of friends and colleagues that includes vineyard owners, growers, and winemakers.

Because of those forged relationships and friendships, we have exclusive access to grapes from fantastic vineyards and the team to oversee hands-on production from vineyard to bottle. We are proud of our past achievements and excited to realize the culmination of a decade of learning and focus, bringing authentic wines to the table that we have found, seen, and touched at every step.
