## About this wine

Pebble Lane Cabernet Sauvignon is produced in Greenfield, located within California's Monterey County AVA along the Salinas Valley corridor. Sourced from sustainably certified estate vineyards, the vines benefit from a unique coastal microclimate where warm daytime sunshine gives way to cool nighttime temperatures and fog sweeping down from Monterey Bay. Developed in part to feature on high-end steakhouse menus such as Landry's restaurant portfolio, Pebble Lane focuses on sustainable viticulture and site-driven winemaking.

## Interesting facts

- Crafted in part to pair specifically with high-end steakhouse menus across North America.
- Vineyards benefit from dramatic temperature drops caused by fog rolling in from Monterey Bay.
- Certified sustainable by third-party organizations including the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance.

## Food pairing

Rich, structured red wines with pronounced tannins and solid body require substantial fats and proteins. The proteins in red meats bind with tannin molecules, softening the wine's grip while matching its palate weight and intensity.

## Wine making process

Harvested from estate vineyards in southern Monterey County, the grapes are destemmed and crushed before undergoing temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve varietal purity. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels to integrate wood character and structure prior to bottling.
