The 2023 Ranch is produced from Cabernet Sauvignon grown in the Pool Block, our western-most vineyard, and the Lost Orchard, our eastern-most -- blended with a touch of Merlot from the Lost Vineyard, which lies between the two.  Winemaker Diana Snowden Seysses describes the wine as "steady and composed," with a lovely bouquet of black current, plums and tobacco" tannins which are "seamless and fine," and "notes of dark cherry and cedar" on the finish.  The fermentation was by wild, native yeasts with minimal manipulation or additions -- no chaptalization, no acid, no digestive enzymes, no fining -- and fermented dry with the goal of leaving room for the site to show through. 1,088 cases were produced.
