VINEYARD: Exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon is grown on the gently rolling hillsides of Puma Springs Vineyard in Dry Creek Valley. The grapes are draped in morning fog that gives way to beautiful and nourishing afternoon sunlight. High level sustainable farming methods, ensure bold and complex flavor development in each cluster.
VINTAGE: 2006 was truly a year won in the vineyard. A record heat spike that lasted 10 days in July shut down the vines until the weather cooled again, and made growers nervous about sunburn on the ripening grapes. Later in the year, rain led to frantic leafing in an effort to let sun and air into the clusters. Botrytis was a threat, especially to Chardonnay, and many growers had to drop clusters that had started to rot or were touching other clusters. In late October the weather dried up and warmed giving grapes a little more hang time. Overall, it was a late harvest and with excellent quality and some of the largest volumes of Pinot and Cabernet that Sonoma County has seen in many years.
