Inconnu’s Alaric Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a striking wine that brings together the best of boldness and structure. Sourced from a vineyard that embodies both innovation and tradition, this Cabernet Sauvignon is full of character and depth. The 2019 vintage reflects the vineyard’s focus on capturing the essence of the grape, with a touch of modernity that makes it stand out in the crowded world of Cabernet.

The wine opens with rich aromas of blackberry, cassis, and a touch of black pepper, giving way to earthy undertones and hints of tobacco and dark chocolate. On the palate, it’s powerful and full-bodied, with firm, integrated tannins that provide structure without overwhelming the fruit. The wine’s dark fruit flavors are complemented by a spiced edge, creating a complex and lingering finish that speaks to the wine’s potential for aging.

Inconnu Alaric Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a wine that will appeal to those who appreciate a serious, structured Cabernet with depth and character. It’s perfect for pairing with grilled meats, steaks, or hearty stews—anything that will match its bold personality. With time, it will only evolve, showcasing even more layers of complexity.

More about Inconnu

Laura Brennan Bissell seeks out California's cool corners—places with greater diurnal shifts, complex soils, and a shot at true elegance. Her Inconnu project embraces classical winemaking: white grapes sit cold and untouched for 24-72 hours before pressing, allowing phenolics to develop without harsh tannins. The result? Wines driven by acid and mineral, sun-kissed and subtle—terroir made manifest.

Tasting Profile

Deep ruby with dark cherry, plum, and spice aromas showing oak influence. Full body with structured tannins and balanced acidity. Long, complex finish with cassis and herb notes.

The California wine scene has changed a lot recently, with far less emphasis on trophy wines, and far more on wines that are just fun to drink. Trends don’t just happen by themselves. It is people like Laura Brennan that are changing California.

Some people start making wine after making a fortune in investment banking or high tech. That’s usually where you end up with the trophy wines. Laura was a tattoo artist. Perhaps it’s no surprise that things turned out a little different.

When she decided to get into wine she had very little going for her other than an impressive tattoo on her shoulder and an embellished CV, which she used to land an internship at Unti. After Unti she landed a position with Matthiasson, the trailblazer who continues to make deliciously drinkable wines.

Next stop was Inconnu, her own winery, and the goal of making Californian vin de soif — wines for drinking, not for showing off. Many of the Californians who have to come to this approach have focused on less traditional Californian varieties, like Valdigue, but Laura focuses on many of the same noble grapes that you find in those trophies, like Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. But there is also Chenin Blanc, which is just fine with us.
