"The estate is planted primarily to cabernet sauvignon across three climactic zones ranging from 2,300 to 2,640 feet. The uppermost portion sits above the inversion layer on the steepest, rockiest slope, ten degrees warmer on average than the lowest elevation of the vineyard. As a result, vines above 2,500’ bud and ripen a month earlier and produce powerful, ripe flavors. The lower third of the vineyard has the gentlest slope and the coolest temperatures, yielding wines that are the most aromatic and nuanced. The central portion of the vineyard is the most protected site, affording vines the longest hang time and yielding beautiful balance.

The estate cabernet sauvignon captures the personality and verticality of this complex site. Eight vineyard blocks are harvested in over 20 unique lots. Fermentation is completed in 8-10 days and wines are pressed immediately to avoid over extraction of the skins." - Producer Note
