Michael Havens, creator of Havens Wine Cellars, which he founded and ran from 1984 to 2008, created the Cave Dog label in 2014 to champion Albariño and Godello in California. Godello, native to northwest Spain, is rarely seen in California. Michael Havens produced the first U.S. Godello in 2012, under the Abrente label. This Godello under the Cave Dog label is lush with vibrant notes of peach, pear, lemon, and stone, making this wine extraordinarily engaging and dimensional. This is an exciting expression of the Godello variety that will have you coming back for round two in no time.
