2022 Jean Hoefliger Collide Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley

The 2022 Collide Cabernet Sauvignon is more than just a bottle of wine—it’s a bridge between a storied past and an exciting future. This iconic label, created by the legendary Mark Herold, has always been about pushing boundaries and crafting wines that make a statement. Mark’s fearless approach and innovative spirit set the stage, but now the torch has been passed to none other than Jean Hoefliger, a winemaker whose name is synonymous with excellence.

Jean isn’t just any winemaker—he’s a global force in the wine world. With experience that spans some of the most prestigious wine regions, from Bordeaux’s Château Lynch-Bages and Carbonnieux to South Africa’s Meerlust and California’s Newton and Alpha Omega, Jean brings unparalleled expertise to every bottle he touches. His ability to balance artistry and science, honed over decades, has earned him a reputation for creating wines that stand out on the world stage. Today, he consults for over 28 top-tier wineries across Napa, Sonoma, Paso Robles, and even Italy and Spain.

Taking over Collide, Jean has infused this Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with his signature style. He’s taken the bold, rich foundation laid by Mark Herold and elevated it, crafting a wine that’s lush, velvety, and full of character. From the first sip, you’ll be drawn into layers of ripe blackberries, cassis, and subtle notes of tobacco and spice, all balanced by Jean’s hallmark precision and elegance.

Alexander Valley, home to iconic names like Jordan and Silver Oak, provides the perfect backdrop for this exceptional wine. With its warm days and cool nights, this region produces Cabernet Sauvignons that are powerful yet refined—qualities Jean knows exactly how to amplify.

This isn’t just a wine; it’s a meeting of two world-class winemakers. Mark Herold built the legacy, and Jean Hoefliger is taking it to dazzling new heights. If you love wines with a story, character, and a touch of brilliance, the 2022 Collide Cabernet Sauvignon is calling your name. Don’t miss this opportunity to taste the magic of two greats in one incredible bottle!

100% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Jean Hoefliger crafts the Collide wines. This wine is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from five different sites in Alexander Valley and aged for 16 months in 40% new French oak. Alluring and fragrant, it presents blackberry and cherry fruit alongside deep conifer and vanilla-scented cedarwood notes. Medium to full-bodied with expressive, sultry tannins, it reveals hints of dark cacao and tangerine peel. This wine’s generosity makes it immediately appealing. ~ 94 Decanter
