Grand Reserve

Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Once in a while, with extraordinary vintages, a special lot of wine is discovered in the cellar. Winemakers Lindsey Wallingford & Aaron Pott strive to select a few outstanding barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon to create our estate's most dense, intense and age-worthy wine. Not surprisingly, this special cuvee tends to originate on the rocky soils of "Block One" on the south side of our estate. The See clone bud wood came from Napa Valley's famed "Backus Vineyard" in Oakville. The soil and clonal selection (and farming practices) yield very small berries with intense flavors and tannins. Aaron carved this small lot wine out of the cellar to create the first vintage of our "Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon" in 2010. The critically-acclaimed 2019 vintage will be released during fall 2023. 

Our vineyard is farmed by our estate crew, led by Lindsey Wallingford, with consulting from viticultural guru, Bob Gallagher.

Please call the winery to acquire this and other small lot wines, including library vintages. Tel: (707) 967-9463
