Cabernet Sauvignon from the Grassini Vineyard. We selected this vineyard for its location – one of the most easterly and accordingly one of the warmest in the Santa Ynez Valley. The climatic zone is similar to Napa Valley. The vineyard is on a south facing slope with excellent drainage.
Cabernet Sauvignon, unlike Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, requires more warmth to reach its full potential. The berries are very small with a fairly thick skin. This morning they were picked early and arrived cool — ideal for processing.
