Description

Each year we strive to create wines that reflect site, vintage, and style. Our grapegrowing and winemaking processes seek to highlight the intensity, elegance and nuance of mountain grown Cabernet Sauvignon. Our 12 Cabernet Sauvignon blocks are spread across the 475-acre Estate at elevations ranging from 1,800 ft to 2,200 ft. There are numerous soil profiles across these blocks, including compressed volcanic ash, fractured volcanic cobbles, gravelly loam, and cobbled clay. The rugged topography and intense exposure result in multiple microclimates where Cabernet Sauvignon can develop a range of flavor profiles. Keeping with tradition, the plantings are dominated by California heritage clonal selection – including from Sees, Martha’s, Niebaum, Martini and our Mayacamas house clone. The vineyards have been farmed organically since 2013.
