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.

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.
