Marineau Mills Iron Ring
A neighboring vineyard, just over the fence from our estate, brought a regal elegance to our Cabernet, and the blend felt instantly distinct. We named it Iron Ring in honor of Seb’s Canadian engineering roots and the craftsmanship the ring represents.
For Emily, Iron Ring became an opportunity to lead a new chapter. By blending Cabernet Sauvignon with her favorite varietals—Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Malbec—she worked with Ashley Hepworth to shape a wine that reflects both precision and imagination.
2023 Vintage
Dubbed “the vintage of a lifetime”, 2023 provided the cool, even, and fortuitous growing conditions we needed to craft the best possible wine. By mid-October, the Cabernet Sauvignon was ready to provide this wine with dark fruit and fine tannins. Cabernet Franc from Calistoga, and Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec from Oakville, all add welcome dimension and spice, with a lifted, aromatic finish.
