The next generation of Snowdens is exploring California, seeking out organically farmed grapes of the highest pedigree from different growing areas.  The Cousins wines are produced with the same integrity and to the same exacting standards of quality as our estate wines -- and lead the way on innovation, such as utilizing a smaller, lighter, more environmentally responsible bottle, which we've now adopted for the estate wines, as well.  The 2022 Cousins Merlot is a lovely expression of the high mountain, coastally-influenced terroir where the grapes were so carefully grown, showing off a vibrant bouquet of plum, tobacco, and floral aromatics.
