No Fine Print

Legendary American music industry veterans Pat Corcoran and Tim Smith are the team behind this California-based label. Inspired by a love of restaurants and his experience of Chicago hospitality, Pat travelled to Sonoma, where he formed a relationship with brothers Andrew and Adam Mariani, who manage Scribe Winery. Pat wanted to create a wine to share with restaurants in his native Chicago, and in 2018, his ‘hobby’ started to gain serious traction, with the UK becoming his first export market in 2022.

The Cabernet Sauvignon is made from grapes sourced from the sandy soils of Lodi, where the maritime influence from the Delta gives the appellation a Mediterranean climate, lending a balance of fruit-forward ripeness and acidity to the wine. 99% of the vineyards here are certified sustainable, an essential cause to consultant winemaker, Birk O’Halloran.
