Cabernet Sauvignon Pedregal Vyd Ramey Cellars

“Pedregal” means a rocky place in Spanish, and that is certainly a distinguishing feature of the site. This is a small, hillside vineyard on the lower slopes of eastern Oakville that’s planted to 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petit Verdot. During 2008 we agreed to a long-term lease of this vineyard which gives us complete control even through any change in ownership. That year, we began directly farming the vineyard. Our farming team, headed by Doug Hill, planted this vineyard in 1990 and has farmed it continuously since.

Cabernet Sauvignon – Clone 7 on St. George and 110R rootstock, planted with 4’x8’spacing in 1990. Petit Verdot – Sterling selection on 110R rootstock, planted with 4’x6′ spacing in 1993. All on Iron rich red soil and 85% basalt rock.

"This handsome 10-year-old wine has many years of life ahead, but is beginning to show the mellowing effects of age in its woodsy, cedary, potpourri aromas and broad, beefy flavors. Grown on the rocky, northwest-facing side of the famed Oakville AVA, it's full-bodied, concentrated in black fruit and earthy-spicy accents on velvety, almost thick tannins. Drink or hold."
