2017 · Cabernet Sauvignon

Founded in 2000 by Phillip Zorn and Brent Shortridge, Waterstone Winery is a California virtual winery based on intelligent grape sourcing rather than owned vineyards or production facilities. It works through long-term contracts with growers in Napa Valley and Carneros, producing Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc. The founders’ model focuses on selecting fruit from established California regions while keeping the winery asset-light. No sustainability certifications or specific winemaker are listed.
