Item Description
The single estate vineyard ARK is located just outside St. Helena, California, at the base of Howell Mountain. It was originally planted in the 1880s, but was sadly lost to Prohibition. It took us five years to rebuild; she is our pride and joy. The ARK is comprised of nine different blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon, planted meter by meter in nine different volcanic soil strata. The vineyard stretches through a sixty million year time sequence; three ancient beach fronts, a prehistoric weapons quarry, and spans a 180 degree arc of the sun over its half-mile length.
TASTING NOTES: Mr. Antonio Galloni most recently wrote: The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard is intense. Dark red fruit, flowers, mint, licorice and exotic spices are some of the any notes that flow from this fabulous, textured Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2009 is a huge wine with a bright, bright future. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029.
COOPERAGE: Hundred Acre wines are aged for 24 to 30 months in the finest center of France oak barrique. The stave wood is hand-selected for ultra-tight grain, then air dried for three years before being made into barrels.
