Who grows Cabernet Sauvignon in Russian River Valley? Meet Kevin and Wendy Morrow. You’ll be thrilled they knew that a region renowned for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir could also produce exceptional Cabernets.
Kevin and Wendy started making wine together in 1986. They had access to Cabernet fruit from some of Sonoma County’s most prestigious & beautiful vineyards. They started in their garage, but had a dream for over 20 years to own a winery in Sonoma County.
When Kevin and Wendy purchased the winery and vineyards in 2010, the six acres Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard was already established. In 1997, three acres of the Clone 4 Cabernet Sauvignon vines were planted. Then in 2005, with Kevin’s assistance, it was decided that the remaining three acres would be planted Clone 7 Cabernet Sauvignon.
