Pickett Road Block
Our Pickett Road bottling is 100% Cabernet. Planted in 2000 to Clone 4, the vines run
North to South, are trained in the VSP (vertical shoot position) method, and consistently
produce fruit that our winemakers anticipate each harvest. The Pickett Road is complex in character with tannins that can linger on the palate for longer than a minute. WINEMAKER NOTES
The 2017 Pickett Road Cabernet is an elegant reflection of this vintage. Deeper and darker
in color than the others in the Signature Series. A confectionary yet savory lushness of vanilla
and oak notes with ripe plumb emerge from the glass. Dark fruits, dark chocolate and hints of
licorice coat the palate. A medium to full bodied, rounded balanced Cabernet Sauvignon with a long weighted finish. APPELLATION:
