The Cabernet fruit came from our Estate Block 7 vineyard. The deep, gravelly soils in this vineyard promote low to moderate vigor, encouraging the vines to produce rich, concentrated fruit. Water drains quickly in this soil which compels deep root growth for accessing water and nutrients found in the rich subsoils below.
With the exceptional 2016 rainfall and robust rains in early 2017 our soils have become better balanced. These rains help remove minerality buildup that has been accumulating over the recent drought years. Overall 2017 was a great growing season, the grapes experienced some high heat in early September although, they returned to a normal ripening cycle by the beginning of October, making for a very good harvest.
