PALATINE CELLARS

We rely on experience, deep intuition, and keen observation.Together at Palatine we determine the best approach to winemaking, carefully evaluating every aspect of soil, climate, site, technique and style. Our intimate connection with the vines and winemaking means we know every nuance in every barrel... Our Hundred Acre Series wines are 10% barrel fermented using indigenous yeasts and are unfined and unfiltered. Our goal is finesse-driven, complex and powerful wines.This Central Coast Red is made from grapes grown on 25+ year old vines. This family-owned vineyard is most well known for its iconic quality for over four decades. Limited barrels of this Cabernet Sauvignon blend were produced.Approximately 50% of the vines are a minimum of 25 years of age with some lots of Syrah are upwards of 35 years. The age of the vines result in yields that rarely reach 2 tons per acre and the soils are unusually rocky and sparse.$30
