Hi everyone. Were excited to offer a whole slew of new releases and newer wines for the inaugural Vindependence sale.
Cabot Vineyards is an all estate winery in Humboldt County. We have three estate vineyards. Two, in the inland Klamath River Valley, where we grow Syrah, Zinfandel, and Cabernet Franc, and one in Southern Humboldt on Fruitland Ridge, just 8 miles from the ocean, planted to 5 clones of Pinot Noir and a small block of Cabernet Franc. These are the northern most vineyards and winery in Ca. We grow all of our own fruit, organically, and with great attention to detail. Our vineyards are 20- 30 years in age, and mostly own rooted, which we believe gives the purest expression of each varietal and site. We ferment our wines with native yeasts, and age our wines in older, mostly neutral French oak barrels. Theyre bottled unfined and unflitered.
We have put together a âVindependenceâ page on our store especially for this weekend, where youll find a dozen wines offered at a average 25% discount and a $20 flat rate shipping. So mix and match whatever youd like. The more you buy the more you save on shipping. Our website takes Paypal, but if youd prefer to Venmo me @John-Cabot-2, Id prefer that. Or email me with your order at johnjcabot3@gmail.com. Or text or call 707 496 5381.

2021 Syrah Kimberlys- From our winery block of own rooted Syrah noir vines. This yearâs Kimberlyâs is a
classic, with its big, rich boysenberry, black raspberry, and beautiful acidity, to balance out the intense concentration. This is very similar to our 2006 version with loads of roasted meats, bacon fat, pepper and spice. The finish is incredibly long on this one.

2022 Pinot Noir, Elk Prairie- We saw quite a bit of rain during flowering in 2022, which resulted in extremely
low yields of under 1 ton per acre. The season and fall were beautiful though and the tiny crop was able
to ripen slowly due to lower than normal fall temps. We harvested this in the last week of Oct at 24.5
brix. This one is concentrated! We aged it on 3 year old Rousseau, French oak barrels for 22 months
before bottling. 14,2% alc. 72 cases produced
Retail $42 VDay $35
2023 Cabernet Franc, Elk Prairie- This is our first release of Cab Franc from our Elk Prairie vineyard. This is
an extremely cool site for Cab Franc, being just 8 miles off the ocean. The vines were planted in 1999,
and are dry farmed and own rooted. This was picked at 20.1 brix on Oct 31. The stems and seeds were
fully ripe and the tannins amazingly resolved for such low sugars. This is very earthy in character, with
beautiful floral aromas of lavender and tobacco. Very much in a Chinon style, yet is not a pyrazine laden
wine at all. 12.0% alc 72 cases produced
Retail $42 VDAY $36
2019 Klamath Cuvee- This years cuvee is a very unconventional blend of 40% Syrah from Our winery block,
and 60% Pinot Noir from Elk Prairie. The marriage of these two unlikely partners was a revalation. We
had a lot of 100% whole cluster Pinot from EP that didnt quite fit into the final blends, so we said what
the hell, and added a lot of Kimberlys Syrah, and and bam! My buddy and winegrower Russell Marier
looked and me and we both were wide eyed and shocked at what a beauty we had come up with. Its
very CdP/CdR in character, with the stemmy Pinot giving it a Carignan feel, and the Syrah providing rich black
fruits. The finish is long with baking spices and pie crust. 13.9% alc. 275 cases produced
Retail $28 VDay $22
We are also throwing in our two sparkling wines from Anderson Valley for a special Vindependence day price
2014 Blanc de Blanc- $55
2016 Blanc de Blanc- $45
