Listen "SIP Virtual Wine Tasting and Q&A with Rahn Family of Rahn Estate in Napa Valley"
Episode Synopsis
On this week's episode of SIP Virtual wine Tastings with Winemakers we talked with certified soil scientist Bryan Rahn, Viticulturist Dylan Rahn and Winemaker Hannah Rahn.
Rahn Estate was established in 1998. After working for a consulting company evaluating soils and designing vineyards, traveling to Napa finally caught up with Bryan Rahn and he took a leap of faith and acquired the 20-acre property. Certified soil scientist, Bryan was attracted by the gravely volcanic soils and high elevation of the site and designed the hillside estate vineyards on the Howell Mountain by hand-selecting Cabernet Sauvignon root stocks and clones to fit the micro-climates. The terroir of Howell Mountain allows for nuanced and concentrated fruit flavors and balanced tannin.
Bryan's son Dylan, now a viticulturist, and daughter Hannah, a winemaker, started exploring the vineyards and learning from their father at a very young age. Years later, the family continues to grow exceptional fruit and produce ultra premium Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Currently producing only a couple hundred of cases of each vintage, the family aspires to make up to 1200 cases as they grow and develop.
We talked about soils, clones and food and wine pairings for the Rahn Estate 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon.
