Karl Lawrence Cellars   California, USA  
 
 
 
  Two very close friends with a common dream of producing a fine wine founded Karl Lawrence Cellars in 1991.  The name "Karl Lawrence" comes from combining the middle names of the two founding partners: Michael Karl Trujillo and Bryan Lawrence Henry.  Our venture together will have the common goal of producing a unique and outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon wine from the wonderful Napa Valley.

Karl Lawrence is very proud of its grape sources and their relationships with the growers.  Trujillo has many years of winemaking experience with fruit from many areas of the Napa Valley. Relationships made during his career led him to the selection of fruit for the Karl Lawrence wines.  Trujillo is able to purchase grapes from the Morisoli Vineyard on the valley floor near Rutherford.  Fruit from this vineyard shows great Cabernet character and yields a well-rounded wine with intense aroma and flavor, and lends a rich smooth feel to the finished wine.  Another vineyard selection is the Lamb Family Vineyard.  This hillside vineyard on Howell Mountain produces a more intense and concentrated fruit that gives a big, rich, spicy character to the blended wine.  

The grapes are hand harvested at their optimum maturity and crushed in open top fermenters. After fermentation is complete, the wine is then aged for twenty months in French oak barrels.  The wines are then carefully blended to achieve optimum balance and expression.  Shortly after blending the wine is bottled and then held for further aging in the bottle.  

The Karl Lawrence Cabernet Sauvignon is made with fruit from the Morosoli  and the Lamb Family vineyards. The grape combination produces a wine that is rich and full-bodied, well balanced, and enhanced fruit and spice characters.
