The discovery of gold just west of the Sierra Nevada on January 24, 1848 brought thousands west in search of fortune. This wine honors today's trailblazers who carry on their fearless pursuit of a better life.
The entire course of California – and perhaps U.S. – history changed on January 24, 1848. Carpenter James W. Marshall discovered nuggets of gold near the saw mill he was helping to build near the base of the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
His discovery in the waters of the American River soon attracted thousands of prospectors. These trailblazers earned the infamous title of ’49ers because so many arrived in 1949 after a grueling journey West. Their sheer grit and determination in pursuit of prosperity inspired our unrelenting dedication to making a Cabernet Sauvignon worthy of today’s pioneering spirits.
