Slingshot
Cabernet Sauvignon
North Coast 2021
Slingshot was born from a desire to craft premium California wines that deliver purpose without pretense. Since its founding in 2005, Slingshot has focused on the North Coast AVA—a mosaic of world-class vineyard sites spanning Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake Counties. Each bottle reflects the region’s coastal influence, diverse soils, and vibrant microclimates, all while honoring the founder’s belief that great wine should be inspiring and accessible.
Guiding this vision is winemaker Blair Guthrie, whose global experience and restrained approach define Slingshot’s signature style. A native of New Zealand, Blair honed his craft across hemispheres before planting roots in California. Today, he champions sustainable viticulture and low-intervention winemaking, allowing the vineyards to speak clearly. The result is wines of transparency—unforced, expressive, and deeply rooted in their origins.
The 2021 Slingshot exemplifies this vision. Sourced from the Testa and Johnson Vineyards—two acclaimed sites in Mendocino and Lake Counties—it showcases the North Coast’s signature depth and vibrancy. For those seeking a Cabernet that speaks with clarity, character, and coastal charm, this is a bottle you’ll return to time and again.

“The 2021 Slingshot North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon opens with an elegant floral notes of violets, complemented with vibrant blueberry, blackberry, and black currant aromas. On the palate, the wine has a savory core of spice, balsamic reduction, dark chocolate, and a subtle hint of fresh mint. This wine has a refined structure, with dusty tannins and a distinctive minerality reminiscent of petrichor, and though slightly lighter-bodied than a typical California Cabernet, this wine gives finesse, impressive concentration, and depth, carrying through to a long, polished finish.”
