Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Formed through sedimentary flow, Clough soil is a gravelly loam, layered in quartz and chert. This soil is found on gently undulating old terraces at elevations of 200 to 1,000 feet. Moderately well drained, Clough is derived from conglomerates and other sedimentary rocks and is considered to be a moderately acidic soil with a normal pH of 5.8.
The gentle slope at which Clough soils are located provides the perfect balance of minimal water retention without stressing the vines too much. The soils are fairly nutrient-rich and the locations provide ample sun exposure and drainage. Clough soils embody the prototypical Cabernet landscape, yielding small-berried clusters with intense red fruit and nuances of earth and spices.
Winemaker Notes
Dense and dark, our 2021 Clough has a beautiful bouquet of ripe black cassis, late summer lavender blossom, mineral, undertones of toasty vanilla and forest floor. Strikingly harmonious, each note is perfectly placed and sings with purity. This energetic Cabernet lingers on the finish to reveal focused acidity and a luxurious, prolonged finish. Seamless, this wine drinks beautifully now and will continue to develop for the next 10+ years. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
