2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Wild Ferment from Paso Robles grapes, produced by Sunbeat Cellars, an urban Arizona winery

2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Wild Ferment

$45

The natural yeast really did a number on this one (in a good way). Floral & citrus notes up front, dark fruit & noticeable tannins on the back. Limited edition.

  • Tasting may be romanticized, but believe us, it's not magic. You'll experience the subtle blend of flavors differently than we do depending on numerous factors (including genetics and preferences), but here's what we discovered about our Wild Ferment Cabernet:

    Tastes we noticed:

    • Tobacco

    • Apple

    • Graphite

    • Dried orange peel

  • Hearty savory foods -- think Thanksgiving. Things that bring lots of flavor but not necessarily from spices. Also exceptional paired with charcuterie and finger foods — this is a wine to sip and savor and talk about with good friends.

    Like our other Cabernet, this one is also good right out of the bottle, but aerating it will make its depth of flavors just develop even more.

  • Delicious wines!

    After trying all of their offerings, our absolute favorites have been the two different cabernets. The wild ferment was the one that really stood out. Try them — you won’t be disappointed!

  • As good as a Daou Reserve...

    … but for half the price.

  • I absolutely love Sunbeat Cellars.

    My wife met Nick and Bree at a farmers market, bought a bottle of their Cabernet Sauvignon. We liked it so much we scheduled a tasting at their Cellars located in San Tan Valley and bought a case of wine. Nick talked us through the process of making wine and how he got started in the business. Sunbeat Cellars is a grassroots, locally-owned business that makes great wine and definitely worth giving a try.

  • I highly recommend checking them out.

    We dropped by Sunbeat Cellars, not realizing they usually do tastings / tours by appointment only. We gave them a call, and Nick, the owner/winemaker, was cool enough to show us around. He knows his stuff, super passionate about the wine and the process. The wines were excellent, and the tour was really interesting.
