After five long years of waiting, the 2017 vintage saw typical rainfall return to the North Coast of California. Drought conditions broken over the winter spurred resilient vines to start producing abundant fruit. Though this could have presented problems, dry heat came roaring back over the summer, helping to reduce yields and concentrate flavor. Powerful and poised, the Cabernet Sauvignon by Pure Bred demonstrates a steady hand producing quality wine through Mendocino's recent harvests. At over 70% off the standard pricing, we should all keep a few bottles to enjoy with burgers or hearty lentil stew.

2017 Vintage Recap
California's 2017 harvest wrapped up early this fall following summer heat spurts and a growing season that saw significant rain throughout the state ending a five-year drought. While October wildfires in North Coast wine communities made international headlines, the state's vineyards and wineries were not significantly affected. Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino counties, the regions most impacted, grow 12% of California's wine grapes, and 90% percent of the harvest in Napa and Sonoma and 85% in Mendocino were already picked and in production at wineries before the fires.
