WINE REGION:

Outline of California

California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

ABOUT THE BRAND:

large bunches of red grapes on the vine

Cartesian

French philosopher René Descartes advocated for logic and referencing the past to progress the future. Like Descartes, our winemakers at Cartesian are firm believers in learning from their predecessors. We push, experiment, and continually ask questions in the spirit of making our wines better. Versatile and worthy of examination, Cartesian wines allow you to deliberate life’s bigger questions rather than ponder your wine selection.
