FROM BROC CELLARS
THE WINE: California Cabernet Sauvignon is delightfully varied. Our version steers away from the big, bold and brash representations and instead coaxes out the grape’s more fruit-forward side. We harvest from Massa Vineyard, a unique site that sits at 1,500 feet in elevation with vines nestled among loamy soil. This Carmel Valley Cabernet has lustrously blue fruits and a silky whisper of tannin. The whole cluster grapes saw regular pumpovers during fermentation in stainless steel tank. It was then pressed into neutral French oak barrique and aged for 10 months.
Massa Vineyard: Massa Vineyard is an 88 acre vineyard that overlooks the Cachagua region of Carmel Valley and sits at 1,500 feet in elevation. Just 3 acres are planted with Chenin Blanc and harvested by only a few winemakers, including us. The vines thrive among the loamy, sandy soils, which Massa dry farms. The vineyard has been certified organic since 1996 and incorporates water conservation, composting and cover cropping into their farming practices. Compost is spread in the middle of the vineyard rows to nourish the healthy organic vineyard soil. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with this special vineyard.
