Description
Ranch 32 Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful and elegant expression of Cabernet from the protected southern areas of Monterey County. Aromas of blackberry, plum, and currant are complemented by hints of mocha and violet. On the palate, the wine is lush and layered, with balanced acidity and supple, integrated tannins, culminating in a long, smoky oak finish.
Meet the Producer
Ranch 32 is a Monterey-based winery dedicated to crafting wines that reflect the potential of the region’s diverse terroir. By combining careful vineyard management with precise winemaking, Ranch 32 produces expressive and approachable wines that highlight both varietal character and regional identity.
Production
Estate-grown grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness during the night and delivered to the winery early in the morning to preserve freshness. Select lots are carefully sorted, destemmed, and crushed, then fermented dry in open-top containers. The cap of skins and seeds is gently punched down several times daily to extract flavour, colour, and structure.
Maturation
The wine is aged for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels (25% French, 10% American, 35% new oak), allowing complex layers to integrate and develop while maintaining varietal purity.
