Description
In 1967, inspired by the notion that Bacchus loves the hills, our family followed the advice of legendary winemaker André Tchelistcheff and settled high atop Pritchard Hill. Since then we have dedicated ourselves to crafting wines that showcase the power, grandeur and age-worthiness of great mountain-grown grapes. At the same time, Pritchard Hill has emerged as one of the California’s most revered winegrowing sites and a source for some of the world’s finest mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignons. Our Pritchard Hill Estate Vineyard is farmed as 34 distinctive blocks—including 26 different blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon. Made from our most profound and compelling blocks and barrels, your wine represents the pinnacle of our winegrowing program. The 2015 harvest was among the finest Cabernet Sauvignon vintages in decades at our estate vineyard. Because of this, your wine focuses on the epic nature of the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon harvest, with its alluring red and black fruit, robust, yet refined, mountain tannins and sophisticated structure.
