California Cabernet from someone who learned the craft at Harlan and then went the other way: Ketan Mody's Beta is about restraint, not muscle. He started the label to explore California fruit at its edge, which in practice means low alcohol (Beta wines rarely go above 13%), minimal intervention, and wild fermentations in large casks of at least 500 liters, so oak never takes over. Mody works with Napa and Sonoma sites he thinks are worth exploring, and Glass Rock is the name on this bottling. Getting hold of these isn't easy: Beta's mailing list usually sells out within 24 hours, so a bottle on our shelf is a real chance to taste it. This is for Cabernet drinkers curious what the grape tastes like when the winemaker isn't chasing ripeness and power.

More about Beta

Ketan Mody founded Beta to explore California fruit at its edge: low alcohol (rarely above 13%), minimal intervention, wild fermentations in massive casks of at least 500 liters. Mody apprenticed at Harlan before striking out to make wines that sell out in 24 hours via mailing list. That's a cult vote of confidence. Beta proves that serious, ambitious winemaking doesn't require cult pricing or self-importance.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled lamb chops with rosemary and garlic; dry-aged ribeye with a simple pan sauce; mushroom and farro risotto; duck breast with cherry jus; aged Comté or cheddar.

Tasting Profile

Expect a restrained, lower-alcohol take on California Cabernet: red and black currant, cedar and a herbal, graphite edge rather than jammy ripeness. Fermenting in large casks keeps oak in the background, so the medium body comes with fresh acidity and fine, firm tannins. Think closer to a classic Bordeaux than a big Napa blockbuster, finishing dry, savoury and clean.
