Mission Codename The Great Divide
Today’s Watkins Family Winery 2008 Nuns Cliff Vineyard Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a delightful high-elevation Cab from one of the hardest working winemakers in Sonoma County, Randall Watkins.
As the proprietor and winemaker of his namesake winery, Randall is charged with overseeing every aspect of the winery’s business. This meticulous attention to detail is clearly visible in his winemaking practices as well, with deliberate thought and care given to each step of the process. The resulting wine is bursting with flavor, with an elegant balance of fruit, structure, and tannin. We particularly enjoyed the signature high-elevation aromatics on today’s gem.
Please enjoy our heartiest recommendation for today’s wine. Today’s wine is a prime example of just how good small production wines can be.
