OUR WINES > CABERNET SAUVIGNON ESTATE
This is our "flagship wine" and is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot following the example of the great red wines from Bordeaux. We call it "Estate" because it is blended from many different vineyard blocks with different exposures and elevations ranging from 1500' to 2000'. Rich and fruity and deep, I think it is a wonderful example of what we are trying to achieve in the Spring Mountain District with a Cabernet blend. I would describe it as an elegant, rich, "mountain Cabernet."

2003 CAB. SAUVIGNON ESTATE

The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon fraction is 80% and is itself a blend from three blocks: Springhouse, Lake, and Track. The rest of the blend is 12% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. Our several Cabernet Sauvignon blocks all produced such lovely, intense wines in 2003 that we decided on a blend using 80% of that variety. The other three varieties were also very intense. This is a wine which great complexity, a wine which is rich and intense now and should age beautifully.
