We hang the fruit on the vine until the seeds are brown and nutty tasting. This elimanates that green, herbal finish which can be a characteristic of the Cabernet franc grape.
Our Petit Verdot, made from 100% Petit Verdot grapes, is grown on the northern front portion of our vineyard. The sandy loam soil gives the grapes a unique characteristic that is reflected in this rare wine. Pair it with a great steak!

Eagle Eye Estate Proprietary Red Blend 2012 is a combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from our vineyard. The percentages of each of the varietals change every year to reflect the best that Mother Nature provides.
This Cabernet Franc is a true reflection of the character of the grape varietal. It is fruit forward, well balanced with soft tannins and has a long finish.

The grapes were picked the end of October giving it a long hang time to develop intense flavors from the small berries and tight clusters. It is with 100% Estate grown fruit from a single vineyard, our AlphaWOLF Ranch.
