Description:
One of two Estate Cabernet vineyards owned by Clos Pegase, Graveyard Hill is an eleven-acre parcel on the southeastern edge of Mitsuko’s Vineyard in Carneros. According to local lore, the farmer who owned this land previously named the hill after plowing it, and, turning back to admire his work, remarked how all the whites stones he turned up looked just like a graveyard. These same white cobblestones were not forgotten when it came time to plant vines on this ground. Atypical of the shallow clay soils surrounding this piece, Graveyard Hill is a rocky, well-drained outcropping, perfect for the cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon. The drier, warmer soils, coupled with the long growing season allow the variety a generous cushion to ripen, yielding elegant and powerful wines, with dense tannins and generous fruit.
