Profile:

Classic Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon showcasing the best of the 2022 growing season.  Grown at roughly 1750’ above sea level in red volcanic ash and white tufa, DUALRIDGE grows quintessential Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon showcasing dark black and blue fruits, racy red undertones, ageworthy tannin structure and a mouth full of fruit.  In 2022, we had the privilege of meeting the new owners of the property, Tony Phipps and Lucas Vitale, who have been investing heavily into the property and the vineyard.  In 2023, they hired Napa grape growing legend Mark Neal of Jack Neal and Sons to get the most out of the site.  The 2022 is an incredible wine, and a great launch point for the program.  Our goal is nothing short of making DUALRIDGE vineyard the next great vineyard on Howell Mountain.
