More about the 2022 GRO Polaris Vineyard Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon: Gro Wines' 2022 Polaris Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon emerges from Howell Mountain like a vividly realized dream, carrying within it the whispers of a vineyard with history and gravitas, whose fruit has graced iconic labels such as Nickel & Nickel and O'Shaughnessy, yet now finds fresh, singular expression under the precise guidance of winemaker Lars Bjorkman. Bjorkman, whose artistry was finely honed at Saddleback Cellars, carefully shapes this Cabernet Sauvignon into a wine that walks the graceful line between strength and finesse. Polaris Vineyard's elevation and soil impart an electric minerality and structure, a hallmark acidity that dances across the palate, effortlessly carrying flavors of dark mountain berries, graphite, and hints of aromatic herbs. Composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon, with a subtle accent of Cabernet Franc, this wine is defined by clarity and balance. Produced using sustainable, organic practices and minimal intervention, Bjorkman's winemaking illuminates the Vineyard's purest voice, delivering a soulful expression of a legendary site, captured at its most genuine and compelling.
