Another Shore 2018
46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 16% Petite Sirah · California · 126 Cases
Wet stone, mountain mint, and fir tips are balanced by cherry and a long, silky, delicate body. This Cab blend is luxurious but not opulent. Another Shore weaves the blue flavors of cool-climate coastal Cab with the signature silkiness of Cab grown on the soils of northern California's valley floors.

Enjoy With
Crudité, thinly sliced radishes, and seasonal greens. We typically associate cab with steak and big bold cuts of meat but this Cab blend shines best with veggies. If you’re going to go the steak route, go rare.
Drink When
You’ve just dropped the needle on your favorite record, listening to water percolate through your houseplants, anything that reminds you to try a little tenderness.





Martha's Notes
I’m walking through a calm forest, filled with the periwinkle light of dusk, and I see fairies weaving garlands of fir tips, cherries, eucalyptus and magic. Some sit on granite slabs as they weave, others gently flit midair, softly singing. I haven’t made Cabernet Sauvignon since 2008, my second vintage working as a harvest intern in California, but when a friend invited me to walk this special cool climate Cabernet vineyard with her, I was moved to ask her for a ton of fruit to work with under the Martha Stoumen Wines name. California tries to tame the beautiful green notes that make Cabernet Sauvignon herself, but I see no need to erase this character. Blended classically with Merlot, and unclassically with a bit of Petite Sirah, this wine brings me away from my normal winemaking sphere of Italian-leaning flavors, warm color palettes, dry dusty tannins, and wines reminiscent of spring, summer and fall, to a wine that evokes winter, cool colors, and has wet tannins and flavors of some northern place. This wine brings me to another shore.
