Meyer Family Cabernet Sauvignon Bonny’s Vineyard 2017
The new Bonny’s Cabernet is another impressive release and a surefire crowd-pleaser for all that appreciate the most opulent wines from Napa’s most historic vineyards. The luxurious, rich & creamy texture is intensely delicious, boasting dark fruit, vanilla bean, toasted oak and coconut flakes and then a cornucopia of savory spices on the exotic finish. Will deliver thrills tonight with an hour of decanting and will age gracefully through 2028. – October 2022
Meyer Family Cellars Winery
Meyer Family Cellars is a small, family-owned winery situated in the picturesque
Yorkville Highlands of Mendocino County. At once a leading artisanal winery in one of
California’s emerging viticultural areas, Meyer Family Cellars blends establishing this
new Appellation with the legacy of Silver Oak Cellars.
One of the state’s iconic wine brands, Meyer Family Cellars occupies a unique place in
the story of California wine. It was established in 1987 by Silver Oak founders and
former owners Justin and Bonny Meyer, who dreamt of a family wine brand that drew
upon their extensive experience in the Napa and Alexander Valleys. Incorporated in the
plan too was their son, Matt, a well-traveled student of wine and graduate of the enology
and viticulture program at the University of California Davis.
Today Meyer Family Cellars is in the capable hands of co-winemakers Matt and Karen
Meyer. Their approach to winemaking mirror the unique position of their product.
While their wine incorporates “old world” balanced acidity and minerality with “new
world” ripeness and forward fruit, similarly, Matt and Karen apply the wisdom gleaned
from family history while welcoming new ideas into the process.
