wines of personality and place

Cavaletti Vineyards has been crafting wines of personality and place since 2016. We utilize organic farming and minimal irrigation to produce wines that are as unique as the vineyards in which they are grown. Our traditional winemaking focuses on embracing the unique statement of time and place from each vintage. The wines range from classically styled rosé and white wines, to hedonistic reds of power and refinement. We produce varietal, vineyard designate, and blends from Ventura, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara Counties.

Lopez Vineyard Zinfandel

"From a historic area that was once one of California's larger vinelands, this bottling offers intense aromas of extracted blackberry on the nose. The palate delivers a fresh purity of fruit, conveying black plum and more blackberry."

The 109 mile Rosé

"Winemaker Patrick Kelley ambitiously builds this blend out 54% Tempranillo, 38% Grenache, 4% Grenache Blanc and 4% Syrah from within a 109-mile radius around Los Angeles. This vintage is a success, with melon, apple and beach sand aromas leading from the nose into a tense palate awash in Asian pear and more melon flavors."

Inception

"A deep, dark set of black plum, baking spice and loamy earth aromas show on the nose of this blend of 40% Grenache, 40% Graciano and 20% Syrah. The palate is firmly textures, offering savory soy, lingering oak and intensely dark fruit flavors."

Tierra Alta grenache blanc

"Nearing a pinkish shade in the glass, this bottling offers crisp lines of citrus and cantaloupe rind on the nose. The palate is rounded with apple, nectarine and green-grape flavors that are cut by zippy acidity."

Arianna Syrah

"Mineral-driven aromas of graphite meet with black plum, fennel, thyme and peppercorn on the nose. The palate's deep plum core is layered in toasted bay leaf and more pepper spices, set atop a lively acidity."

The Muse

"Warm aromas of salted nectarine, apricot and Meyer lemon are quite inviting on the nose of this blend of 82% Viognier and 18% Chardonnay. The palate opens broadly with peach, baked apple and savory salt flavors, as warm oak spice provides richness and power."
