still family owned

treacherous and therefore labor-intensive nature of the vineyards

and then there is orange wine aged on the skins

to form the Bien Nacido Vineyard

and the farming is sustainable and certified organic since 1993

Doren - 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon - Sonoma Valley, CA still family ownedBen Doren, a restaurateur and wine distributor, had learned much about great wine and winemaking from his day jobs, so when his brother bought a house in Sonoma Valley near the town of Kenwood with a half acre of Cabernet Sauvignon and wondered what to do with the next crop, he jumped at the chance to make his own wines. Organically farmed, hand harvested and allowed a long, cool, completely natural fermentation, the wine is aged in 50% new French Oak
