Highlights
- "Red Shafted Flicker" is the 4th wine in the newly created bird-themed series that began in 2019
- The bird-inspired theme comes from our shared love of ornithology and our beautiful mountain estate
- In this iteration, the blend came first and soon after a Red Shafted Flicker was spotted in the vines
- 100% estate grown from 25-year-old vines; 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc
Description
We are now in our fifth decade of making wine high atop Spring Mountain. If my father were here today, he would be extraordinarily pleased with how we have made his dream of producing world-class Bordeaux-style wines come to life.
This bird-themed series of wines also honors my mother's legacy as she was the one who—almost against my will, I thought she was crazy—instilled in me the love of birds, which my son has also taken up. Three generations of vintners and three generations of bird lovers!
Wine Facts
- Wine is unfiltered
- Wine was dry farmed
