First planted in 1973, Wedding Vineyard graces a south facing slope in front of our original Mountain Estate winery, running the length of our secluded estate. Nine acres were replanted in 2002 under the careful guidance of David Abreu: seven blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon (clone 337 and See clone, among others), one block of Petit Verdot (clone 400) and one block of Cabernet Franc (clone 327). The final remaining block was replanted in 2010 (Wiemer clone).

(95 Points) The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Wedding Vineyard is a wine of gravitas and substance. Gravel, incense, dark spice, tobacco and leather add sepia tones to a core of dark blue/purplish fruit. Mysterious and changing in the glass, the 2019 is a Cabernet that needs time to reveal all of its layers. But they are there. All the 2019 needs is a bit of cellaring. Antonio Galloni Vinous
