LA CARRIERE

This south-facing vineyard sits near the top of the ridge just southeast of Saint-Émilion, right within the triangle that separates Château Pavie from Larcis Ducasse and Troplong Mondot. The 40 year-old vines are planted directly on the bedrock. Very little clay separates the vine from the limestone, ensuring both concentration and intensity in the resulting wine.

2018 Cuvée Rive Gauche

$135.00 / 750ml

SoMa’s 2018 Cuvée Rive Gauche is a classic Left Bank Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend typically found in the Médoc. The 2018 is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon from the left bank villages of Pauillac, Margaux, Saint-Julian and Saint-Estèphe . The Cab is blended with 20% Merlot from vineyards in Saint-Émilion and Pomerol and 10% Cabernet Franc from Saint-Émilion. This is a beautiful well structured cabernet sauvignon blend.

2017 Cuvée Rive Gauche

$140.00 / 750ml

For our 2017 Left Bank Cuvée, we blended 70% Cabernet Sauvignon fruit with 20% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The Demi-Lune vineyard in St. Estephe has always contributed Cabernet Sauvignon with structure to our Left Bank Blend and 2017 was no exception. The fruit flavors are enhanced by Grand Catalie fruit from Pauillac. A variety of St. Emilion Merlot vineyards soften the wine and Cabernet Franc enhances its flavors and balance.

2016 Cuvée Rive Gauche

$135.00 / 750ml

The wine has scents of dried rose petal and spicy juniper on the nose accompanied by deep aromas of cedar and leather. On the palate it has a characteristic broad mouthfeel and beautiful density with hints of white pepper yielding to flavors of blueberry, black cherry and caramel. Firm tannins anchor a satisfying finish. Approachable now, it will continue to improve for another ten to twenty years.

SoMa Cellars 2018 Cuvée Rive Droite is a classic Right Bank Merlot/Cabernet Franc blend. In 2018, we sourced Merlot from three vineyards in St. Emilion and were lucky to also obtain fruit from two wonderful Pomerol vineyards. Blended with 80% Merlot is 10% Cabernet Franc, from St. Emilion and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from Pauillac. This produced a luscious well balanced example of the Right Bank style.
