Dark plum, black currant, cherry, chocolate and smoky characteristics as well as a little spice with a smooth, lasting finish. Tannins are soft yet structured.The estate is planted entirely to Cabernet Sauvignon. They grow three clones – 337, 4 and Weimar – on two root stocks: 110R and 3309. The vines are trained in the double cordon method on a single fruiting wire and cordons trained to either side of the trunk. This configuration prevents excessive sunlight exposure so the sugars don't run up before the grapes get a chance to fully ripen. During the growing season we drop close to half of the fruit to select only the best clusters and keep the vines in balance. Single wine only from this vineyard, which is this Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. Production runs between 1,100 and 1,400 cases, depending on the year. 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot.
