The aromas of red cherry and cranberry jump out of the glass, followed by fresh cranberry sauce with orange and red currant jelly, with a subtle hint of raw pink peppercorn dancing about.

This wine is about the vibrant and fresh side of Zinfandel, low alcohol with bright red notes on the palate and a striking garnet color in the glass. She is exciting, refreshing and adventurous, breaking down barriers and bringing people together, brightening the day of all who meet her.

Onward Wines are single-vineyard, site-driven wines from vineyard sites that are very special to me. I am a true believer in personal connection and there is a story behind each vineyard site and how it came to be part of my portfolio. In these stories, you will learn more about the people behind these vineyards. I liken my connection to these vineyards to that of one’s favorite shirt or coffee mug or chair. Like a well-worn fabric or a slightly chipped mug that may have initially caught my eye for its beauty, but over the years has won my heart because it just feels right. When it comes to vineyards this happens too, because of a combination of my connection with the vines themselves and my connection with those that tend them. For me, the grower's hands are most definitely part of the terroir.

My style is about letting the vines speak. They are the art, I am the canvas, and my job is to give them a chance to share their beauty in each and every vintage. My decisions are driven by the vineyard and the vintage, my cellar practices are to uphold the truths I find in the vineyard. To this end, I pick early looking for a balance of flavors at lower ripeness, as I find this is when each vineyard is in its most unique expression of self.

Karl Lawrence 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, Pocai Vineyard, Napa Valley - 1 Bottle

Our winemaker, Bruce Devlin, says that the wine has a refined palate with full, rich, silky tannins adding strength to the finish. Deep garnet-purple in color, it springs from the glass with pronounced black currant cordial, plum preserves and blueberry pie scents plus touches of dusty soil, stewed tea, tobacco and wild sage. Full-bodied, the generous black fruit preserves are framed by ripe, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with an herbal lift.
