Winemaker tasting notes:

Our “Mise en place” Cabernet Sauvignon comes from two very special single vineyard sites located on the extreme eastern and western sides of the Oakville District abutting the rugged and dry Vaca Mountain Range. This sub-section of the Oakville AVA is renowned for superb, richly-textured Cabernet Sauvignon and its terrain is characterized by steep hills which bask in warm, sunny afternoons offering an ideal growing environment.  These vineyards soils profiles include gravelly alluvium (eroded off the nearby Vaca mountains) covered by shallow gravelly loam and in some places interspersed with large boulders. It is quite infertile and very well-drained. Planted in the early 1980’s and 1990’s these two sites clonal material includes heritage clones (likely from Beaulieu Block) as well as Clones 4 and 337.

Superbly mature and well-drained sites on east-side of Oakville District AVA, next door to Screaming Eagle, down the road from Rudd &Joseph Phelps’ Backus Vineyard.
Exemplary sustainable farming practices provided dense clusters with perfect flavor and maturity.
Classic Bordelaise winemaking (blended varietals, new French oak, egg-white fining) partnered with beautiful Oakville District Cabernet Sauvignon provides a spectacular result.
