Winemaker Notes
"This inky-black blend of 99% Cabernet and 1% Petit Verdot exhibits a spicy and mapley entry that wraps around an intensely fruity core. Blackberry compote and toasted flour are reminiscent of a fine summer pie. Clove spice, earth and cedar add layers of interest. The tannins are fine, powdery and serious. This wine will age beautifully."
Abour Winery
Zeitgeist Cellars is a collaboration between husband and wife, Mark Porembski (winemaker at Anomaly Vineyards and Lost Cellars) and Jennifer Williams (former winemaker at Spottswoode Estate and current winemaker at Arrow&Branch and Ziata). We make the wine ourselves at Behrens Family Winery.
In pursuit of fine wine at fair prices, we employ conscientious selection at each step while doing the work ourselves. We’ve committed to a handful of carefully chosen vineyards, sort vigilantly through the fruit at harvest, and bottle only the best barrels. Our goal is to be thoughtful in our approach and simple in our methods. We make each exceptionally small batch of wine ourselves and guide them carefully through fermentation and aging. The results are two beautiful Heritage white varietals and a small stable of excellent Cabernet Sauvignons.

Wine Advocate, Rober Parker 93+ pts
"There are 421 cases of the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa from the same four sites used for the 2012. This wine is coiled tightly and displays higher tannin as well as higher extract and richness. It has an inky purple color and beautiful, dense blackberry and cassis flavors along with hints of licorice, forest floor and earth. Some background oak also makes an appearance. This wine will benefit from several years of bottle age and should drink well for 15 more years."
