Award-Winning Premium Estate Wines
For over 40 years, our grapes have feasted on volcanic earth, snowmelt waters from Lassen Volcanic National Park and abundant sunshine here in the new AVA of Manton Valley. Farming practices are genuine. Friends and neighbors come help with harvest and of course to enjoy the wine!
The altitude of the vineyard provides cool nights during the hot summer growing season. The vines are planted in well-drained, volcanic soils on arid slopes. As a result, the grapes have great tannic structure and firm fruit acids. With meticulous attention to detail, we strive for a distinctive mountain character with focused flavors.
This Cabernet Sauvignon comes from small thick-skinned berries which produce a deep, dark, ruby red color, along with the complex aromas of bell peppers, dense dark berries, and a hint of mineral. Its naturally concentrated favors of black currant and blackberries, excite the palate with touches of bittersweet chocolate. The complexity and finesse of this Cabernet Sauvignon, along with its refined textures, is balanced by soft tannins and a finish that is smooth, polished and long.
