The Caves

This selection of our finest three barrels of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon was aged in French oak for two years in the caves. Hewn from solid 15-million-year-old basalt which underlies our estate vineyard, the caves maintain a year-round 55-58˚F temperature and ideal 65% humidity – perfect for aging premium wines.

Vineyard Block

Shouting Stones block of Cabernet Sauvignon—The end posts from this block are old limestone fenceposts from Kansas, very near where the Figgins side of Chris’ family first settled. Each one tells a story through its ancient fossils and 150 years of human and animal imprint. The 2 acres of clone 4 Cabernet Sauvignon is planted to a vertical shoot positioning trellising style, but more like those seen in Bordeaux with higher density – 7ft row spacing – and a low cordon wire. The name of this block was inspired by the song “These Stones Will Shout” by The Ranconteurs
