2019 Mettler Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Lodi
Winemaker Notes: The grapes for this wine came our estate vineyards and grown in three Lodi sub-appellations: Jahant—Cool and dry with pink Rocklin-Jahant loam. (146 acres of Cabernet, Clone 7); Clements Hills—Warmer and wetter with rolling hills and cliffs. (14 acres of Cabernet, Clones 15 and 191); Mokelumne River—historical center of Lodi with sandy soils. (77 acres of Cabernet, Clones 337, 412, 338, 7). For each vineyard, the planting and trellis system were customized for the vineyard site. Our vineyards are certified through the Lodi Rules for sustainable winegrowing.
The Mettler family heritage honors over 100 years and five generations of farming in Lodi with the release of this exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. The size of the crop, the time spent on the vine, and the many months aged in French oak barrels all reflect the care our family took to fully express the potential of our estate vineyards.
