Description
Our only 100% Cabernet Sauvignon production, the 15th of its kind, combines the elements of our best vineyard sites. Ranging from single cluster/shoot Clone 7 at 1,800 feet elevation on Upper Atlas Peak, growing out of rocky volcanic soils proportionally blended with our fruit forward SEE clone in the west-facing alluvial fan soils of Calistoga. The structural inky color and brooding dark berry fruit profile from the mountains marries perfectly with the bold aromatics and red ripe silkiness of the Upper Valley SEE clone. The fruit in this wine is 75% Atlas Peak and 25% Calistoga.
