While the Dry Creek Valley is renowned for Zinfandel, there is almost as much Cabernet Sauvignon planted. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in warm, sunny days coupled with cool nights and foggy mornings. The well-drained mountainside soils force the vines to drill deep into the soil to retrieve the nutrients they need to ripen properly. The record-setting rainfalls coupled with slow-burning fog, windy days, and unpredictable heat spikes made for a rather eclectic growing season. The 2018 vintage is comprised of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Dry Creek Valley estate and 10% from the Rockpile estate vineyards.
