Our present-day estate cabernet sauvignon vines were planted in the early 1980’s using cuttings taken from the vines originally planted in the 1950’s by Martin Ray. Although they are relatively young, yields are still low, typically one to two tons per acre. The vines are trellised in a modern fashion, which allows for a more uniform ripening. The vineyard also contains small blocks of merlot and cabernet franc.
| Wine maker notes |
| Our estate cabernet sauvignon is a Bordeaux-style blend of approximately 75% cabernet, 22% merlot, and 3% cabernet franc, although the cepage varies by vintage. This high mountain, cool coastal vineyard is an unusual area for California cabernet sauvignon. Refreshing acidity and moderate alcohol reflect this uniqueness. Fine integrated tannins buttress typical flavors of red currant, blackberry, and earth. Cellaring between ten to fifteen years in recommended. |

| Mount Eden remains one of the most iconic estates in the world, with wines that have proven over time to age exquisitely. The Domaine Eden range is composed of three entry-level bottlings that are made from what was formerly the Cinnabar property and deselected barrels from Mount Eden. All of the wines bear the indelible signatures that have defined proprietor Jeffrey Patterson’s Chardonnays, Pinots and Cabernets for the last four decades. Chardonnay and Pinot get most of the attention, but it would be a mistake to overlook the Cabernets from both Mount Eden and Domaine Eden, as they are fabulous. -Antonio Galloni (8/17) |
