Introducing our 2017 Diamond Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon; exclusive first offering for our Cabernet Club members at Robert Craig Winery. A tiny amount of this exquisite wine was made, so don't delay. Acquire a bottle or two for your cellar now.

BLEND: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc
HARVEST DATES: September 28 - October 11, 2017
AVERAGE SUGAR: 25° Brix | TA: 5.6 g/L | ph: 3.85 | ALCOHOL: 14.77%
BARREL AGING: 18 months in French oak, 65% new
BOTTLING DATE: April 29, 2019

With just 13 acres planted on the 60-acre site, the Andrew Geoffrey Vineyard’s unique combination of soils (volcanic ash and loam) and varying exposures (Northeast, North and Northwest) required custom rootstock and clonal selection to optimize use of the land and micro-climates within the vineyard. Today, after budding over the Merlot clones in 2003 to additional Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, the vineyard is comprised of seventy-eight percent (78%) Cabernet Sauvignon, clones 337 and 15, both on 110r rootstock, eighteen percent (18%) Cabernet Franc of a proprietary clone on 110r rootstock, and four percent (4%) Petit Verdot clone 2 on 110r rootstock.

The 2017 vintage Diamond Mountain Cabernet continues our partnership with Peter Thompson and his Andrew Geoffrey Vineyard at the summit of Diamond Mountain. We received only a few tons of this highly sought-after fruit from the classic 2017 vintage, so our production is tiny. The vineyard's white, powdery volcanic ash soils deliver wines of breathtaking intensity and longevity. Even with the enormity of the structure and fruit, there is grace and nuance in the finished wine.
