Upwell Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Where: Lodi, California
Grapes: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petite Sirah
Body: Full
Category: Red Wine

A California Cab for under $20 that’s actually really good and not made by some faceless mega-winery corporation? Yup. Upwell is a collaboration between Eric Clemons of Coeur Wine Co. and some of California’s most talented young winemakers; the result is a delicious wine made by small American producers that manages to be super-affordable.

Fermented in stainless steel then aged in stainless steel and oak. Classic dark fruit and spice on a full bodied frame.

Upwell is a collaboration between Eric Clemons of Coeur Wine Company and some of California’s most talented young winemakers.  After years of noticing a lack of high-quality, affordably priced, and small production wines from California, Eric saw an opportunity to start a brand focusing on just that. The aim of Upwell is to over-deliver on value; one should be able to get a great bottle of wine from California for under $20.  By both working directly with growers as well as sourcing finished wines from producers, Upwell is able to create great everyday wines made in small amounts.
