Grown high on a west-facing slope above the fog line on the northern ridge of Atlas Peak, this is a true mountain Cabernet. The palate is dense, layered, and impeccably structured, finishing long and refined. It carries the essence of red volcanic soil, wild California chaparral, and sun-drenched hillsides. All we can say is, there’s a reason the The French Laundry picked this gem up.
Organic farming practices, native yeast fermentation, unfined/unfiltered, vegan-friendly and only 1,100 cases produced.
The Old Eight Cut refers to a diamond cut dating back to the 1400s using simple tools and few cuts to enhance the natural brilliance of the stone without disguising its true nature.
The first sip shows a center point of sweetness that is buttressed by dark red fruit, ripe tannins and a hint of nori that give the wine a serious edge. With air and time, the sappy spicy notes that come from partial whole cluster fermentation resonate on the finish, making this wine one with incredible depth that will drink well now and over the next 10 years.
Showing the influence of the breezy and fog-laced Oak Knoll District, this wine offers plush fruit with delicate acidity, and a structure defined by well-ripened, fine-grained tannins. Layered notes of blackberry preserves, stewed cherries, ripe plums, raspberries, violet, cocoa, and spiced wood. Persistent and full on the palate, this is an expressive Zinfandel that is drinking beautifully now, but will continue to improve for the next 5-7 years.
Certified sustainable farming practices. Family-owned winery. Dry-farmed vines and hand-harvested.
As you wade in the current, the work week fades to gray. When the line strikes and you begin that delicate dance, there’s no choice but to be in the moment. The refreshing citrus aromas and woodsy notes are like the creek passing through the forest. It’s a West Coast Pale Ale for a West Coast way of life.
