Description
The Kingsnake Cabernet Sauvignon, The 40 degree slope on these vines is the definition — a rare and extraordinary wine from a superb site.
Vines were planted in 1999 on 110R rootstock which excels in rocky soils on steep slopes.
The red volcanic and tufa soils give this Cabernet a wild, blackened berry character, coupled with touches of warm blue fruit and spice.
Variation in soils within this small block require hand harvesting and management.
The yields are a meager 1.3 tons to the acre, but the fruit possesses a rare power and expression of site.
TASTING NOTES
