2014 was probably the worst year of our recent drought. Only fourteen of rain fell that winter which was unprecedented. Unsure of the consequences of dry- farming old vines, we decided to prune way back to reduce the crop size; indeed the harvest was small, yet significant.
There is so much to say about our Cabernet: it is grown at elevation in a coastal mountain range, quite rare. The vines are mature, planted in 1979 and 1984 from budwood sourced in the 1890's from Chateaux Margaux. These vines are low-yielding, averaging just above one ton per acre, allowing our terroir to express its highest level. Cabernet has been made here since the 1950s and since the beginning they have shown a remarkable ability to age; thirty and forty years-old bottles are still remarkably vibrant and fresh.
This 2014 Estate Cabernet is a masterpiece. William Kelley previously reporting for UK Magazine Decanter and now with the Wine Advocate summed it up best "A complex bouquet of wild berries, cassis, cigar box and mountain laurel prefaces a savoury, full-bodied wine with a three-dimensional, layered chassis of fine-grained tannin and a nicely reserved core with good depth and bright acidity. This dependably age-worthy cuvée can look forward to three decades of evolution in the cellar."
