Unwritten Wines California

The truth is in the wine not the words.

Sourced from one two of the most iconic vineyards in Napa Valley, Oakville Station and Las Posadas on Howell Mountain, our Unwritten Cabernet Sauvignon has complex and inviting aromatics.

The 2021 is the boldest vintage of Unwritten Cabernet Sauvignon to date.  The wine is a masterclass in counterpoint, the mountain fruit brings waves of density and structure while the valley floor fruit imbues the lush power that stitches the complex elements together.

    • Optimal Ripening Conditions

    • Lewelling Vineyards remains one of the longest continuously-owned and farmed family vineyards in St. Helena
    • In 1864, pioneer John Lewelling located his ideal setting to take advantage of the warm days, cool nights, and dry weather that would enrich the wine grapes for many generations.

    The Source

    We place the fruit at the heart of each vintage.  Working with grapes from premiere vineyards in Howell Mountain and Oakville, quality is always first.  From hand-selecting the grapes, to a winemaking process that allows the fruit to really define the palette, we have produced a wine that truly exemplifies the best of Napa Valley.

    Winemaker

    Mark Porembski first became interested in wine years ago while studying poetry and discovering that some restaurants in Boston’s North End were not perfectly strict about the legal drinking age. He moved to California in 2000 to pursue his interest in wine, eventually taking on the position as Winemaker at Anomaly Vineyards. Mark founded Zeitgeist Cellars, a wine label in collaboration with his wife, Jennifer Williams, in 2005. With experience that includes dozens of wineries in Napa and a stint in Hawkes Bay New Zealand, Mark brings conscientious selection and a commitment to simple and thoughtful creation.

    Inspiration

    Like the wine’s appellation, life is unwritten. We were inspired to create something beautiful – something that would grow with us in our own unwritten journey. And what originally started as a fanciful dream has become our life. As we poured our passion each weekend into hand-selecting the very best grapes and watching them grow and mature, our bonds as families and as friends also blossomed. Together, we created a wine that is timelessly delicious and decadent – one that can be enjoyed today, twenty years from now by our children, and beyond. Our families are forever impacted by this vintage. We hope that you’ll get inspired and join our vinous family too.
