Viticulture

Our Cabernet Sauvignon combines fruit from two estate vineyards in southern Monterey County. Our Hames Valley Vineyard is located near the border of San Luis Obispo County. Sheltered from the afternoon winds, it possesses the largest diurnal temperature swings in the county. The combination of warm days, crisp nights and an incredibly long growing season makes this an ideal locale for big, tannic reds. Our San Lucas Vineyard is Monterey County’s climatic tipping point for Bordeaux red varieties with days that are warm and sunny and nights that are cold and calm.

Vinification

The grapes were harvested in the early morning hours based on ripeness, acidity, pH and seed color. In the winery, the fruit was sorted, crushed and fermented in small lots. Gentle handling and minimal intervention preserved the integrity of the variety and the character of the individual sites.

Maturation

Aging on French Oak, American Oak, and New oak for 10 months

Food Pairing

Steak chimichurri, eggplant parmesan, broccoli rabe & sausage pasta
