Peacock Family Vineyard 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon

Peacock is a 6 acre hillside vineyard planted in 1989 approximately 750 feet above the valley floor, with Clone 7 Cabernet Sauvignon at a density of 950 vines per acre. e vines are cane pruned and trellised in the vertical shoot position. Farming practices are focused on reducing the plant vigor through minimal irrigation, making just enough nutrients available to the vine, and managing crop load on short shoots. e vineyard averages 8 tons per year, roughly 1.5 tons per acre. In 2008 we began a replant program planting 1.3 acres, with 4400 vines. The vineyards will be sustainably hand farmed.
