Mavericks Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine was crafted as a homage to the people who pit themselves against the moving mountains of water at a Northern California surf spot known as "MAVERICKS". Surfers express themselves by harnessing the power of the Ocean swells, winemakers by translating growing conditions into a feast for the senses. Together, big-wave surfer and waterman Peter Mel and surfer-winemaker Oded Shakked found synergies of passion as they chose the lots that went into this bottling.
