Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Arrowood Vineyards & Winery was established at Glen Ellen in 1986 by Richard Arrowood, following his long tenure as founding winemaker at Chateau St. Jean. Despite promotional copy referencing Napa, the winery and its Cabernet fruit are rooted in Sonoma County, drawing on hillside and valley-floor sites across the region with volcanic and alluvial soils that suit Cabernet Sauvignon. This early-1990s release predates the estate's later ownership changes and reflects Arrowood's own selective, appellation-focused approach. The 1992 Sonoma growing season was generally warm and even, producing ripe, structured fruit picked from lower-yielding vines aimed at concentration and ageing capacity rather than early drinkability.

Vinification

In keeping with Arrowood's traditional Sonoma winemaking, the fruit was destemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled tanks with extended maceration on skins to build colour, tannin and depth. The wine completed malolactic fermentation and was matured in French oak barriques, with a portion of new wood, for an extended period before bottling. Blending components from several Sonoma sites were assembled to balance structure and fruit. Exact figures for new-oak percentage, maceration length and time in barrel for this vintage are not published and would need confirmation. The style targets firm tannin, cassis and cedar character, and a wine built for long cellaring.
