The vines grow on thin stony soil between 200 and 300 feet above sea level. Morning fog and strong afternoon breezes from San Pablo Bay moderate the climate.The vines were planted from 1996-2002. They are spaced 7' x 5', cordon trained and spur pruned. The clones are U.C. Davis 4, 7 and 15, grafted to St. George roots. A seven-foot vertical trellis system supports the cordon and the canopy. The average production is between 2 and 2.5 tons per acre.
This wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. It was aged for 18 months in French Oak barrels, 10% of which were new. The remaining barrels are the 1 and 2- year-old barrels used in our estate Cabernet.
Spicy, cherry aromas with cedar and cigar notes. Medium-bodied. Berry and cherry on the straightforward palate. Significant structure means this wine can stand up to short ribs and steaks with ease.
