2012 RESERVE Cabernet Sauvignon
Product Image for 2012 RESERVE Cabernet Sauvignon
For our inaugural Reserve Cabernet, we hand-selected only the finest grapes from the upper ridgeline of our highest elevation vines. The wine is a fittingly complex and unique expression of our rugged Mayacamas Mountains topography depicted in the label. Moving from earth, red fruit and allspice to cherry, tarragon, and sage, the wine evolves as much after decanting as it will cellared for years to come.

2013 Viluko Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
Product Image for 2013 Viluko Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
Our estate Cabernet is grown from a variety of clones on two exposed peaks, each distinguished by their topography and soils of fractured rock or volcanic uplift. This diversity results in a supple balance between deep aromatics of cinnamon and clove with a palate of dark berries, cranberry, and cocoa. The 2013 vintage reflects its warm growing year giving us a rich, refined, and deeply concentrated wine whose tannins soften upon decanting.

2009 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Product Image for 2009 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Our inaugural Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold, full throttled expression of the variety, with complex layers of chocolate, blackberry, and sweet spices. This wine is a beautiful expression of our unique estate and a testament to the dedication of our winemaking and vineyard team to produce the finest possible wine from this site.

Cool evening air from the Russian River helps our wines retain their pure fruit flavors, a balanced acidity and graceful yet firm mountain tannins.We grow several clonal selections of Cabernet Sauvignon; our 2009 is a blend of five clones: 4, 7, 8, 191 and 337. The steep, 35% grade hillsides and elevations variances of 600 to 1100 feet above sea level and these elevational and slope variances add to the dimensional complexity in our wines.

Our winemaking is minimalist, using neoclassical techniques of long macerations, hand punchdowns and wild fermentation. We use French oak sourced from Haute Futaie forests, which are sustainably grown and harvested, and coopered by small artisan Tonnellerie. The wines are aged two years in barrel before bottling unfined and unfiltered. This, our inaugural release, has the structure to age gracefully for many years to come.

2010 Split Rock Cabernet Sauvignon
Product Image for 2010 Split Rock Cabernet Sauvignon
Our Split Rock release is a balanced yet well-structured wine made for earlier consumption than our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. Its bouquet overflows with molasses, red currant, cherries and licorice. The wine is lively on the palate, with fresh flavors of currants and cherry, followed by black tea, mint and pomegranate liqueur. The wine finishes as it begins, with fresh fruit and velvety tannin, sweet cocoa and baking spices.

The fruit was hand-harvested on a single day in October, destemmed and allowed to soak on the skins for 4 days cold prior to a wild fermentation. The fermentation was pumped over twice daily and allowed to macerate on the skins for a total of 47 days from crush to press. The wine was pressed into French oak barrels, 50% new, where it underwent malolactic fermentation and was aged for a total of 18 months before it was bottled without fining or filtering.

Hearty meals that rely on wines with superior balance and firm acidity will find their match here. Conservative pairings would be polenta, rosemary and paella. Bolder entrees such as truffles, saffron or mussels would be equally as rewarding.
