Winemaker Bob Cabral

In the second half World Renowned winemaker Bob Cabral joins us to talk about his journey in wine, the many outstanding wineries he has worked with and his latest “Three Sticks” winery in Sonoma, another great producer of Bob’s favorite wines…Pinot Noir & Chardonnay.

There is very good reason Bob Cabral’s name is synonymous with great Pinot Noir. With decades of experience in Sonoma County, Bob’s passion, experience and following for his work with the varietal is second to none.  From 1998 to 2014 Bob was winemaker for Williams Selyem. There, he led the winery into a new era, overseeing an expansion of new vineyard sources and bottlings for the brand, along with the construction of a state-of the art winery.

Bob’s winemaking philosophy has remained constant throughout his career—to source and farm the best fruit possible, with minimal intervention in the cellar. He was awarded the 2011 Wine Star Award from the Wine Enthusiast as “Winemaker of the Year.”

He joined Three Sticks in 2015, with fervent enthusiasm. Bob lives in the Russian River Valley where and is a devoted husband and father to his wife and daughter.

We don’t have Three Sticks wines available in Kansas YET, but be checking the shelves and bugging your wine merchant.  You can always learn more, join the wine club and order on-line at: www.threestickswines.com

Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2012 Catena Cabernet Sauvignon –  High Mountain Vines

This Argentinean beauty shows a dark ruby color with violet tones. On the nose, it offers intense aromas of ripe raspberries and cassis with notes of pepper, clove, and a touch of cedar. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich and displays layers of black currant and black raspberry with notes of cedar and oregano. This Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant wine with silky tannins that provide structure and a long and persistent finish.
