Vintage Notes
March rains delayed bud break and the region experienced beautiful weather during flowering, leading to great fruit set.
The mild weather provided an even growing season and longer hang time, allowing the fruit to develop more concentrated flavors. Yields were lighter than in 2018, but similar in bold flavors, fresh acidity and pretty aromatics.
Vineyard Notes
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. The remaining grapes
were grown in our Estate Blocks 17, 10, and
15.
