VINEYARDS

Our Reserve is the embodiment of our favorite characteristics from one of the top regions in the state for Cabernet Sauvignon, with warmer daytime temperatures and a long growing season
that yield wines that are fruit-forward, but savory. With the intent to create a wine that is classic in style, we carefully choose and cultivate each lot to fully reflfl ect the amazing potential of Mendocino County as a Cabernet Sauvignon producer.

VINTAGE

The culmination of factors from another drought year in California surprised us with a beautiful vintage. An unseasonably dry and mild winter, which led to an early spring, forced the vines into bud break during peak frost season. A relatively warm, but even summer, resulted in early harvest dates, with lower-than-average yields
