Lightning Bolt
2015 Cabernet Sauvignon
Calistoga
Each year we hand select the best barrel blend of each clone from our Cabernet Sauvignon lots. Using 337 and SEE clones will provide the fresh berry and blueberry on the palate and aromatics. Clone 15 provides intense structure with copious amounts of round tannins. All of these profiles are underlined by the workings of fine French oak aiding in powerful mouth-feel and finish.
Winemaker, Coup De Foudre Winery
I was born in southern Louisiana, where my grandfather owned a wine distribution company. The culinary aspects of the area, and the fine wines introduced by my grandfather inspired me to pursue a winemaking career.
Country born: United States
Education: I graduated from U.C. Davis with a Viticulture and Enology degree and interned at J. Wine Company and Spring Mountain Vineyards. I then worked at Duckhorn Wine Company for five years.
Years in the wine industry: 10-15 years
Winemaking Philosophy:
For the past 20 years, we have had the great fortune and honor to work with wine, savor it and witness its impact on consumers as they navigate the wonders of wine and the sheer pleasure that it brings.
