Mount Eden Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Our present-day estate cabernet sauvignon vines were planted in the early 1980’s using cuttings taken from the vines originally planted in the 1950’s by Martin Ray. Although they are relatively young, yields are still low, typically one to two tons per acre. The vines are trellised in a modern fashion, which allows for a more uniform ripening. The vineyard also contains small blocks of merlot and cabernet franc.
