Our family started off in Napa Valley growing walnuts, dates, and a small selection of grapes in the 1950s. After graduating from the University of San Diego in 2014, Craig and Susan’s son Spencer Gibbs Handly decided to join the family in growing and making wine. The third-generation of our family working in the vineyards, Spencer brings an ambitious attitude to all our new projects and the complex operations of running a small, family business. He got his start in the vineyard when Lewis taught him to drive a tractor at the age of five. Now, you might run into him at our tasting events, talk to him on the phone for orders, bringing new barrels to the winery, and occasionally find him on the tractor.
Our flagship Cabernet owes its name to the three Cabernet clones grown on our two Estate Vineyards; 6, 15, and 337, that create the core of this delicious wine. Each clone adds unique character, complexity, and depth to the Cabernet. We craft our Three Clones Cabernet with the end goal of presenting a wine that is incredibly balanced; showing well in it’s youth, but with the ability to age beautifully for years to come.
Raspberry, cocoa, star anise, and dusty French oak on the nose with a textured mid-palate bursting with dark plum, juicy cherries, bitter chocolate, iron, and dried herbs. Finely etched tannins are present throughout providing structure and extending the generous finish that hints at notes of coffee and dark chocolate.
