Planted by renowned viticulturist Phil Freese in 2003, this vineyard on a gravelly plateau produces cabernets with exceptional site expression, vibrant acidity, and concentrated flavors. The 3-acre site, planted in 2003 with Clone 338 on two rootstocks, offers a unique balance of tannins and flavors. Using well-drained volcanic soils with minimal organic material, we cultivate vines in Alexander Valley that prioritize growth control and wine complexity.

“A beautifully full and expressive red wine, offering red cherry and blackberry fruit with graphite, fleshy new-wood cedar, and a savory olive-tapenade character. The palate is super creamy and richly textured, driven by pristine dark-berry fruit that leads into mulberry and blueberry. The tannins are gorgeous — cedar-kissed, full-framed, elongated, almost beam-like — and the finish carries a seductive mineral intensity that stretches out over lingering fruit and stone. Just splendid in 2023.” – 98 points, Cristaldi & Co
