Vineyard Notes
Our vineyard soils are Deep Red, and consequently so is this wine. The deep, rich, iron laced volcanic soils contribute to the expression of the ego of this place, the unique expression of a carefully nurtured piece of land, made manifest in each bottle. To this end, we do without conventional pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Our intention is to treat the soil and all we grow on it as a living, life giving system. From natural composts, colorful cover crops and lively insectory areas to our owl boxes, mobile chicken coops, pasture animals and family garden, our farming practices create special wines, and sustain the land for generations to come.

Other Notes

Wow, what a great wine. I have to get more even though I thought I favored Paul Dolan's Cabernet Sauvignon.
