2023 Cabernet Sauvignon
Go There Wines Releases Our 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon
ABOUT THE WINE: This 2023 Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon offers rich aromas of dark fruits, including blackberry and cherry, complemented by notes of clove and subtle oak. With a medium body and soft, supple tannins, it delivers a smooth, lingering finish. As David Salazar's flagship wine, it stands as a testament to his ability to craft exceptional wines as Hispanic winemaker in a region predominantly dominated by white winemakers. This wine is a celebration of his heritage and skill in an industry where he is proudly making his mark.
ABOUT THE WINEMAKERS: Winemaker David Salazar is a passionate Mexican American vintner whose roots intertwine with the vines of southern Monterey County.
Mexican-Americans, a vital force in sustaining the state's thriving wine industry, find themselves underrepresented in the realm of grape and wine production. Despite their tireless efforts in the vineyards, they occupy only a mere 1 percent of the approximately 4,800 wine producers in the region. A lack of opportunity casts a shadow upon their dreams.
Amidst this disparity, David, raised in a Monterey County vineyard, recognized the industry's injustice. Inspired by his father's resilience, he founded Reclamación Wines to reclaim the rightful place of Mexican winemakers.
Graduating from California State University, Fresno, with a degree in viticulture and enology, David's journey in the wine industry has taken him across California and to the vineyards of New Zealand, where his expertise in crafting award-winning wines blossomed.
Returning to California with a vision to celebrate Hispanic vintners, David embarked on a mission to challenge the norms of winemaking; working to reclaim the rightful place of the Hispanic vintner and create exceptional wines that reflect our heritage.
