Cabernet Sauvignon

1998
Yields:
2.5-3 tons per acre
Acres:
3.63
Location on Property:
Northeast Hillside
Sun Exposure/Climate Notes:
Warm days with ample sun exposure, cool evenings with light wind develop the fruit with rich and bold flavors. Great east-west row direction that allows the sun to be above the canopy on the hottest part of the day. The cool foggy mornings allow the vines and fruit to recover from warm afternoons with the rocky soil reflecting the heat. Temperatures shifts can be as much as 60 degrees on a daily basis.
Vineyard Management:
Double Guyot Pruning, hand farmed.
Geographical References:
Growing up the foot of the palisades on Eastern side of the Stags Leap District
Clones:
Clone 337
Soil Types:
Volcanic rock that remains from ancient volcanic eruptions and the erosion of the Vaca Range. This particular soil has very low water holding capacity and allows us to manipulate how much stress we induce on the vines.
