Sonoma Rising serves the dual purpose of providing financial support to the Sonoma County Vintners Emergency Relief Fund. Funds raised by the Sonoma Rising lots will have a direct impact to the short-and long-term recovery efforts of those who were affected by the October 2017 wildfires. We believe in the fortitude and resilience of our community and our ability to work together to endure and recover from the wildfires. Sonoma Rising "Fortitude" is a once-in-a-lifetime alliance of four of Sonoma County’s most distinguished Cabernet Sauvignon producers. These wineries share an affinity for hillside-grown Cabernet, and the belief that these wines are unique expressions of Sonoma County.The blend of Sonoma Rising is created from finished wines, crafted by each of these producers, from the 2016 vintage. It is a gorgeous Cabernet of great structure and density, with layers of complexity.
