Description

This special 2013 blend of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the Atchley Family Vineyard. Situated at 2000ft elevation, contiguous to our property, the wine was crafted from the main vineyard block, planted to a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon 'Clone 7' and 'Clone 8'! We have had the honor of leasing and farming this 5-acre vineyard since 2007 and it is truly an extension of our Estate. Family and friends such as the Atchleys are the backbone of our business, and we are very proud to share this special cuvée with you.
