2021 LOLA Wines Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes:  LOLA Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is grown on the valley floor, just south of the town of St. Helena and a bit north of Rutherford. The wine has all of the characteristics of classic Napa Valley Cabernet with powerful blackberry and black cherry aromas combined with cacao, tobacco and toasted oak. On the palate, the wine is delicate and smooth yet uniquely fresh and bright. This wine is tasting beautifully upon release but will continue to evolve and be a joy to drink over the next 5-10 years.

LOLA was started by Seth Cripe with the idea of making high-quality, honest and value-oriented wines from California. Seth had worked previously at some of California’s top wineries. What he envisioned with Lola was a line of wines that are in a fresh style with fair pricing and are designed for everyday drinking. He has certainly achieved that! The LOLA wines are picked less ripe than many California estates. They are made with natural processes and minimal handling. The line-up includes Chardonnay from the Sonoma Coast and Pinot Noir from the North Coast appellation as well as from Russian River Valley. All of the wines represent excellent values. LOLA is the name of Seth's small, grey, fluffy dog that he rescued in the mountains above the California coast.
