Our fifth vintage from this small, outstanding vineyard on the lower slopes of the eastern Oakville hills. “Pedregal” means a rocky place in Spanish, and that is certainly a distinguishing feature of the site. During 2008 we agreed to a long-term lease of this vineyard which gives us complete control ... more

A near perfect growing season in 2007 allowed us to make some beautiful wines. This Merlot has ripe black plum and red cherry-like aromas. As traditional with our style of winemaking, oak is used as an accent for the fruit component. Sweet dense ripe Merlot flavors flow across the mid-palate. ... more

Winemaker Rob Lawson notes that 2009 was a cool and steady growing year with good to moderate crop sizes. Extended hang time and even ripening conditions provided excellent quality flavors and tannins. The result was harvesting classic cabernet for Ghost Block from our Rock Cairn vineyard. Finesse oriented with an ... more
