Mon Frere Cabernet Sauvignon California 2022

Mon Frere has only been around a few years but it’s a concept that the California wine industry sorely needs. They’re out to make the best wines possible from California’s diverse and rich terroir and they’re hoping to do it at a highly affordable price. It’s a novice concept, I know!

These guys only started in 2019, but it’s been tough sledding with market conditions in their first few years. But the 2022 vintage was by far this boutique’s biggest to date. Of course, that’s in no small part due to the big scores and huge notoriety they’ve now received. But the product that they put out is by far the highest quality – as they’d be the first to admit.

The 2022 harvest was a particularly large one by volume throughout all of California – giving these guys plenty of ammo to work with to make the best possible Cuvee. Their winemaking team sourced Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa, Sonoma, Paso Robles and Lake County to make this, giving the wine a ton of personality with a unique flair.
