Planted over 30 years ago, A&D Vineyard is farmed organically with minimal irrigation save for the driest of summer days.
The expression of this vineyard is heightened by Bart and Daphne Araujo’s commitment to environmental stewardship and biodynamic farming.
“Vineyard I” is a historic vineyard in the heart of Rutherford planted to Clone 6 and Clone 4 under thin, gravelly soils.
The wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from four different blocks with distinct characteristics, fermented together by native yeasts. The resulting wine has quiet power, poise and impressive length that comes in waves.
Soils with naturally low fertility and no irrigation make for naturally balanced grapevines with low yields and small berries.
The wine from Bates Ranch is plush yet primal, with enveloping tannins and relentless length, dark fruit and the vibrancy of dry-farmed old vines.
The 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wine produced from this vineyard is rich and densely-packed, savory with dried sage and a signature cocoa aroma.
