JACK BROOKS VINEYARD started with our excellent inaugural vintage in 2005. Since our intial release of the Jack Brooks Vineyard 2005 Cabernet, our wines continue to mature. Our vineyard is situated in the Calistoga AVA on rocky alluvial soil at the foot of Mt. St. Helena, 1.5 miles north of the town of Calistoga. Planted in 2000 to carefully selected clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, the vineyard is “dry farmed”. While this approach reduces our overall yield, dry farming produces intense, concentrated flavors in the fruit and the resulting wine. We only produce wines from grapes grown in our vineyard allowing us to control the quality of the wine from the vine to the vineyard to the bottle.
