2022 LOLA Wines Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes:  The 2022 LOLA Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was grown on the Napa Valley floor, just south of the town of St. Helena on Zinfandel Lane. We pay acute attention to the farming of these grapes in an effort to maintain acidity in the berries while still achieving optimal ripe, dark fruit flavors. The resulting wine is bright and fresh with aromas of blackberry, dark cherry, cacao, and subtle toasted oak — layered over a soft mouthfeel.

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.
