![]() ![]() The Vineyards have been growing since 1999, and include two clones of Syrah, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, and Albarino, a Spanish Varietal. The vines are trained to a Smart-Dyson trellis system, allowing for plenty of light and airflow on the fruit during the growing season. In the summer of 2002, Richard Smart, the World-renowned expert on canopy management, brought the Cal Poly Viticulture class to our vineyards to show how his trellis system is properly managed. This system of canopy management is a major factor in the quality of the fruit and wines. In 2008, we have plans to plant new clones of Syrah and Pinot Noir.
Jackson's Vineyard was planted in July and August of 1999 and consists of approximately 3 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, Clone 4, planted to 4453 root stock. The first harvest was October 29, 2002.
