EDCORA VINEYARD

Located a half mile away from our Attelas Vineyard, and approximately 350 feet higher up the mountain, Edcora (which neighbors the famed Stagecoach Vineyard) features shallow, iron-rich volcanic soils atop a hard layer of volcanic andesite. This unique soil makeup provides excellent drainage, while concentrating the energy of the vines on ripening the fruit. Together, these factors produce the small berries and thick skins that are treasured by mountain winemakers. Edcora is planted to 78 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon spread over 20 individual blocks, along with Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. With a southwest-facing exposure, and a high-elevation climate, Edcora enjoys a long growing season that ensures ideal ripeness, depth, complexity and phenolic concentration.
