WHAT’S IN THE COLLECTION
Celebrate Summer with Something NEW!
Sparkling Rosé of Pinot Noir Pet Nat
Case production : 66
A brand new wine for this release! This Pinot Noir was picked very early in a sparkling style, whole cluster pressed immediately off the skins and fermented in a stainless steel tank until about 1.8 brix. At that point, the wine was put into bottles to finish fermentation under a crown cap. This allowed pressure to build as the wine went to dryness which gives this wine its delicate bubbles and delicious texture.
The first thing to notice on this Carneros Pet Nat is the beautiful color. A delicate blush pink just looks incredibly inviting. The nose is full of bright berry fruit, floral notes of rose petals and gardenias, and a hint of fresh baked pie crust. The palate is lively and bright, and finishes with a delicious crispness! This really is a perfect wine for a hot summer afternoon.
Bring the Fun with this Zesty Grenache!
“go your way”, is our take on a Grenache Nouveau.
Case production : 48
Special re-release
A Cast Creative Lab red wine for the summer is sourced from a small vineyard and made in a completely unique manner to produce a dynamite example of a fresh and zesty red wine.
The Anax vineyard, just two acres, is biodynamically farmed from vines supplied by legendary grower Randall Grahm, the original “Rhone Ranger.” We brought the fruit in and made the wine using the carbonic maceration process, whereby the entire grape cluster is put into a stainless tank and sealed under a blanket of carbon dioxide. There, a unique type of enzymatic fermentation begins within the grapes themselves.
This extracts delicate fruit, and floral aromatics and flavors. The tank is opened and treaded by foot every day as native yeasts finish the job. The wine is bottled early with just a little of the natural CO2 and acidity to make it literally mouthwatering! This process captured the earthy quality and funkiness of an old world Grenache, but is produced in a new way that promotes the fresh and bright notes of the fruit – a truly perfect blend of old and new world winemaking.
A Bright and Crisp Summertime Favorite
2020 Rosé of Estate Zinfandel
Estate Vineyard, Dry Creek Valley
Case production : 190
Our Rosé of Zinfandel is grown right on our estate property. It comes from a small corner on the northern part of the vineyard that ripens super slowly so these grapes get plenty of hang time without over-ripening. We hand pick these grapes starting at 4am, and immediately press them off the skins to the tank to extract minimal color and skin contact. The juice takes a full month to ferment and stays in a stainless steel tank.
The delicate color is the first thing to notice about this wine. Minimal skin contact allows for just a kiss of pink. The next thing is how fragrant this wine is!
Aromas of farmer’s market strawberries, lemon zest and first of spring rose petals jump out of the glass. The palate continues with the fruit tones, lemon curd and a subtle note of pie crust before finishing with bright and crisp acidity. Delicious! Drink now through 2022.
Lush and Refreshing, a Stunner for Food Pairing
2020 Grenache Blanc
Front Porch Farm, Russian River Valley
Case production : 220
The perfect summer white and a brand new CAST wine! These organically farmed grapes come from a tucked away valley in a small pocket next to the Russian River. They were hand picked and brought to the winery right at daybreak, and whole cluster pressed to a stainless steel tank. The juice slowly fermented cold over the course of 4 months. 100% stainless steel fermented and aged. Beautiful aromas of white peach, lychee, wet river stones and gardenia dominate the nose. The palate is green apple, lemon curd, and honeysuckle. The finish is both lush and rich and surprisingly refreshing and bright. This will be an amazing food pairing wine for sure!
A Classic that’s Perfect with Grilled Meats and Veggies!
2018 Cabernet Franc
Windsor Oak Vineyard, Chalk Hill
Case production : 70
A very limited production cult red. This wine is a great homage to Old World style Cabernet Francs. With notes of cola, baking spices, leather, mocha and a touch of vanilla on the nose, the deep earthiness is offset by a surprisingly light weight on the palate. The palate is reminiscent of cold brew coffee, earthy forest floor, and a touch of cacao. This wine finishes clean with just a touch of acidity to balance everything out.
A Perfect Blend, Delicious and Enchanting!
2018 Incantation Bordeaux Blend – now our most popular red wine
Case production : 382
This is CAST Wines’ first ever Bordeaux blend, inspired in part by our memorable river cruise in Bordeaux, the summer of 2018, but just as much by our enjoyment of wines from the region for many years.
With a firm backbone provided by our popular Pyramid Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon grown by the Hawkes family (50% of the blend), and with the careful blending by winemaker Ashley Herzberg of Rockpile-sourced Merlot (20%), Malbec (15%), Windsor Oak Cabernet Franc (15%), this wine has a terrific balance of boldness and smooth approachability, which is just what she was looking for.

Red Trio
2018 Old Vine Zinfandel • 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon • 2016 Pinot Noir
$193.00 with Shipping
(member discounts apply)
2018 Old Vine Zinfandel
Watson Vinyard, Dry Creek Valley
This is a beautiful example of the great vintage that was 2018 plus a classic Old Vine Zinfandel. Aromas of black tea, wild currants, nutmeg, and boysenberry fill the glass but the palate is all about the rich and jammy boysenberry pie notes. Full and lush yet very refined, the palate is just a stunner. I expect this wine will not only age quite well but will be a wine to pull out for a variety of food pairings for years to come.
2017 Cabernet Sauvignon
Hawkes Family Pyramid Vineyard, Alexander Valley
This Cabernet Sauvignon has a lot of layers and depth. We recommend holding or decanting this wine a few hours prior to enjoying. Notes of peppercorn, leather and sage greet you on the nose. Then, swirl and take a sip for flavors of cranberry, currant and plum to overtake your palate with an unforgettable finish. This Cab will benefit from patience to develop over the next 8 years.
2016 Pinot Noir
Bacigalupi Vineyards, Russian River Valley
We are now 5 years into this wine’s life and I think we may be at the early stages still. This wine is a stunner. Aromas of deep cassis, roasted strawberry, crushed candied violets and a hint of clove really pop on the nose. The palate is lush and full-bodied on the front, with lots of lingering red fruit notes: red Santa Rosa plums, ripe red currant and lush raspberry coulis. The finish is surprisingly light and delicate with a gentle acidity and just a hint of tannin. This wine is tasting delicious and would be even better paired with your favorite meal.

Proprietary Red Pair
2019 Invocation • 2018 Incantation
$123.00 with Shipping
(member discounts apply)
2019 Invocation
2019 was a great vintage here in Sonoma County. It was a wetter than average winter and very wet spring, the vines were delayed in budbreak and bloom by about 2 or 3 weeks. Summer was very warm but harvest was still delayed overall by a couple weeks on most blocks.
This wine is a blend of our favorite barrels of petite sirah and zinfandel from the 2019 vintage. Each block was picked and fermented and aged separately and we blended just before bottling.
The nose of this beautiful blend is full of brambly cassis notes, dark chocolate, spice, roasted hazelnuts and dried orange rind. The palate is chewy and dense with more dark chocolate notes and hints of black cherry, earth, and roasted coffee. The tannins and big and full and complement the intensity of this wine nicely. Definitely a wine to hold on to as this will continue to improve with age for a good long time, 6-7 years.
2018 Incantation
This is CAST Wines’ first ever Bordeaux blend, inspired in part by our memorable river cruise in Bordeaux the summer of 2018, but just as much by our enjoyment of wines from the region for many years.
With a firm backbone provided by our popular Pyramid Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon grown by the Hawkes family (50% of the blend), and with the careful blending by winemaker Ashley Herzberg of Rockpile-sourced Merlot (20%) and Malbec (15%) and Windsor Oak Cabernet Franc (15%), this wine has a terrific balance of boldness and smooth approachability that is just what we were looking for.
