Description

Since Cabernet Sauvignon thrives in a warmer climate, we have always grown our fruit further inland amongst the sunny hillsides along the Russian River in the Ukiah Valley. We select gravelly, well-drained soils for Cabernet; the vines struggle in these conditions resulting in low yields of grapes with exceptional flavor. Each vineyard block was picked at optimal ripeness, destemmed, and fermented in a mix of small open-top fermenters and stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, we pressed to oak barrels from our favorite coopers, where the wine aged for eighteen months. Careful blending and minimal handling let the quality of the fruit shine in this blend.
