More about the 2023 Katherine Goldschmidt Stonemason Hill Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon: Designed to reveal a vineyard without disguise, the 2023 Katherine Goldschmidt Stonemason Hill delivers single-site character with uncommon precision and depth. Drawn from mature hillside vines planted in 1989 at 500 feet in Alexander Valley, it captures the density, structure, and natural balance that only elevation and vine age can provide. Rooted in sandy and Bale loam soils, the vineyard yields fruit marked by definition. Hillside exposure concentrates flavor, while the 2023 season sharpened that identity. A cool year with significant winter rainfall delayed budbreak and extended harvest deep into autumn, allowing for gradual ripening and the retention of acidity and structural integrity. The result is fruit of depth and focus, shaped by patience. Winemaker Nick Goldschmidt’s decades of global experience guide the wine’s final form. Fermented and aged carefully, the 2023 remains transparent to its site. Oak supports rather than sweetens, tannins hold firm yet composed, and the finish carries steady confidence. It is a Cabernet both disciplined and expressive, delivering Alexander Valley with conviction.
