Lightpost Winery, Santa Cruz Mountains (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Apr 14, 2021

By Rich Cook

 This wine is named for the son of the owner Sofia Fedotova, who collaborates with Central Coast superstar Christian Roguenant to bring us this bright and bold expression of mountain fruit.  It’s quite ripe, but the ripeness is well managed thanks to racy acidity that tempers the slight heat and keeps typical varietal flavors coming.  Here’s to working together!  A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
