CLICK TO WATCH OUR INTERVIEW:
Winemaker Craig Senders and Karen Senders

If there ever was a winery where winemaking and philanthropy fully intertwine, it is Senders Wines. This is the first time we are featuring this inspirational producer on our website, and we are honored to share their story and their noteworthy wines with you.
A pediatric surgeon focused for over three decades on surgical outreach in third world countries, Dr. Craig Senders had his first impressionable wine experience 40 years ago during a river rafting trip packed with wines from Napa Valley. He began making wine shortly after, while advancing his medical career and earning critical acclaim and numerous accolades for his homemade wines.
In creating Senders Wines, he found a way to bring his passion as a medical humanitarian and artisanal winemaker together, and now donates 100% of all profits to support surgical outreaches to repair cleft lips and cleft palates in children.

Craig’s passion for winemaking comes from a love of food, wine and people. And it definitely shows in his wine. The Bordeaux-inspired 2014 Cabernet is sourced from the Oakville Station Vineyard, a unique property serving as a 40-acre research vineyard in the heart of the Napa Valley’s Oakville AVA at UC Davis. This vineyard has been an important part of viticulture research over the last 50+ years.
Complex, well-integrated and balanced from beginning to end, this tiny production wine (only 50 cases!) has much to offer. Enjoy some for the holidays and know that you are truly changing a child’s life with each sip! Order your allocation here.
Happy Holidays,
The Cellar Angels Team

senders wines 2014 ‘oakville station’ cabernet sauvignon tasting notes:
Typical of Oakville, this wine is complex, well integrated and balanced from beginning to end. The color is semi-transparent ruby red with aromas of black fruits, bake shop spice, mocha and a little eucalyptus. The flavors are where it gets interesting and should be experienced over some time to enjoy a lovely evolution that moves effortlessly from plum to red cherry to currant, and from cedar and nutmeg to earthy anise and rose pedals. The tannins are soft and so well integrated. This is a wine to compare year over year, so stock a few bottles to last.
