Laurel Glen Vineyard is a highly regarded estate located on Sonoma Mountain in California, known for producing elegant, age-worthy wines with a strong sense of place. Founded in 1981, the winery quickly gained recognition for its distinctive approach to Cabernet Sauvignon, emphasizing balance, structure and longevity over sheer power.
The vineyard sits at elevated altitude, benefiting from cooler temperatures that allow for a long growing season. This results in wines with refined tannins, vibrant acidity and complex aromatic profiles. Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship grape, often supported by small amounts of Bordeaux varieties to enhance depth and nuance.
Laurel Glen wines are characterized by their classical style. Aromas typically include blackcurrant, blackberry and plum, complemented by notes of cedar, graphite and subtle herbal tones. Rather than opulence, the wines focus on precision and elegance, making them particularly well suited for cellaring.
