The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from our consistently favorite sites for cabernet sauvignon: our estate Davis and Caywood Vineyards, as well as our longtime grower partner Standing Stone Vineyards. These sites have two distinctive soil types, Honeoye silt loam and Valois gravelly loam. The Honeoye series consists of very deep soils formed in loamy till that are consistent with the steep soils on till plains, ridgelines, and drumlins in the area. The Valois gravelly loam soils are also very deep, very well drained soils formed of shale, siltstone, and sandstone.
