Etteilla Wines "Dimoni" 2021 Red Wine (Cabernet) California (Mendocino)

750ml bottle

13.4% abv

Testa Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (with a bit of Carignan and Petit Sirah)

Cali Cab Sauv - a Bacchus delight of blackberry balsamic, white pepper, and dark chocolate ganache. A perfect balance of tannins and alcohol only achieved after 30 (!!) months in barrels. A wine to drink with your grandpa over pasta & meatballs.

A new release from an old vintage (& our first as Etteilla!), made at Coturri winery in 2021. The Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested before sunrise under the full-moon on September 21st from a block of vines along the Russian River at Testa Vineyards - a fifth generation family vineyard in Calpella, Mendocino. In classic Coturri style, the cab was destemmed, crushed, and left to ferment open top with two punchdowns a day. The grapes were pressed once dry in Tony’s 40 year old basket press - sent directly to barrels. The wine was racked once in the winter of 2022, then sat untouched until bottling in May 2024.
