Grown on our 18-acre estate mountain vineyard at elevations of up to 2,200 feet in rocky red volcanic soil. The vineyard is CCOF Organic and Demeter Certified Biodynamic®. On the ranch we pursue a true biodynamic “closed system,” where biodynamic preparations are sourced primarily from our property. A picturesque aspect of this is our Scottish Highland cattle, which play an important role. The 2011 vintage was one of those challenging years where empirical wisdom and agility were needed to overcome the obstacles Mother Nature handed winemakers. Despite small yields and an unseasonably cool growing season, our growers and their superb vineyard sites supplied the ray of sunshine necessary for us to craft a silky, fruit-forward Cabernet Sauvignon.

Hand crafted in an old-world style. We use minimal intervention in the cellar to bring the highest expression of our Lake County Red Hills vineyard’s terroir to every glass.

A text-book mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is richly textured and dense yet nuanced. Offering aromas of black fruit, dark red rose and redwood forest. Bittersweet chocolate, ripe blackberry, anise and earth combine with dusty, integrated tannins to entice lingering on the palate. Finish is satisfying – oxblood and velvet! Overall balance enables this wine to pair well with any hearty meat – try with braised lamb or sip with organic dark chocolates! Drink now through 2030 and beyond.
