The Vineyard 7 & 8 continues to gain in precision now that Martha McClellan has been at the helm for a few years. As always, McClellan tends to pick on the later side and does a fair amount of barrel fermentations, both of which bring out texture and richness in the wines.

This is a strong set of wines from Vineyard 7&8. The 2014 is the first Cabernet Martha McClellan made at the estate. Half of the fermentations were done whole berry and in barrel, a painstaking labor of love. As good as the 2014 is, the 2015 may be even better. While Cabernet naturally gets most of the attention there, the Chardonnay off this Spring Mountain property is consistently noteworthy.
