Driven by a hands-off cellar philosophy and a dedication to organic viticulture, they source fruit exclusively from unique, climate-resilient family vineyards across Sonoma and Mendocino. Unturned Stone completely rejects the high-intervention, heavily manipulated style often associated with commercial California winemaking; instead, they trust spontaneous fermentations with native wild yeasts, utilize strictly neutral aging vessels to prevent heavy oak extraction, and bypass fining or mechanical filtration entirely. Their goal is to bottle distinct, food-friendly terroir that captures the raw, energetic coastal edge of Northern California.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wine\u003cbr\u003eThe 2021 \"Spider Chase\" Cabernet Sauvignon is a brilliant, highly scannable masterclass in cool-climate, mountain-grown viticulture that completely redefines the expectations for California Cab. The fruit is sourced from Waterhorse Ridge, a tiny, two-acre vineyard perched at a staggering 1,700-foot elevation on Stewart Ridge within the extreme Fort Ross-Seaview AVA. Planted in 1997 and meticulously farmed organically by owners Patricia Greer and Jesus Velasquez, the vineyard sits high above the blanket of Pacific fog, rooted in rocky, well-drained loam derived from uplifted ancient ocean floors and volcanic basalt. Because the vines are constantly shaped by cold ocean winds, the fruit avoids the heavy, jammy, high-alcohol profile of inland valley floors. In the cellar, Erin and Randy let the site speak clearly: handling the fruit with minimal intervention and aging it in completely neutral oak. The resulting 2021 vintage boasts stunning structural depth and a lower-density, \"Old World\" soul; it effortlessly balances a savory core of dark mountain berries and crisp cedar-wood herbs with a racy, alpine acidity and tightly wound, age-worthy tannins.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unturned Stone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47519163351189,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/1718\/0053\/files\/UnturnedStoneSpiderChaseWaterhorseRidge2021.jpg?v=1783029851","url":"https:\/\/gcfwines.com\/products\/unturned-stone-spider-chase-waterhorse-ridge-2021-750ml-red-wine-bottle-13-5-abv","provider":"Good Clean Fun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
