Fresh and crunchy red berries, red cherries, tomato leaf, red flowers, black pepper. Bottled in Spring 2020. According to Randy Snowden who spent two hours tasting with us, Los Ricos tend to develop more pronounced progression as it ages, and that it tasted drastically different four months ago. The vineyard of 1 acre's planting stands at 680 feet of elevation and enjoys morning sun.

Another nice 2013 bottle. Great with leftover wagyu New York Strip

The Los Ricos Vineyard is a steep one acre block at the southwestern corner of the property. An ancient, dry-farmed prune orchard grew on the site when we came to the ranch in 1955. In 1997 we removed the remaining prune trees and replanted the field to Cabernet Sauvignon, using Clone 337 on 110R rootstock. The block extends from approximately 625 to 675 feet of elevation. The surface is east-facing at a grade of almost 20%, which means the vineyard receives significantly more morning sun and less afternoon sun than the other vineyards on the property. The soils are predominantly volcanic Rhyolite.
