Description

Vineyard Notes: When making our Cabernet Sauvignon, year after year there was a corner of our oldest block that produced wine with exceptional structure and depth. The block, planted adjacent our tasting room on the upper reaches of our Estate vineyard nearly 40 years ago, sits on a particularly rocky outcropping of Lava Cap. It is here, where the Lava Cap soil is the least decomposed, we find the highest expression of the rich flavors our Cabernet Sauvignon is known for.
Our 2019 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a selection of our best barrels from our oldest Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Planted in 1981, these vines yield a wine that is exceptionally concentrated, elegant, and rich. Picked and fermented separate from our El Dorado Cabernet Sauvignon, our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is the pinnacle of high elevation Cabernet Sauvignon.
