The Vaca Ridge vineyard forms the bulk of the Eastern Rutherford hills and extends from there to the edge of Lake Hennessey and up to Pritchard Hill to the west. Tor manages two distinct blocks within the vineyard: one Cabernet and one Cabernet Franc.. Each year, we ferment a blend of mostly Cabernet with a splash of Cabernet Franc. The wine was aged mostly in Taransaud and Sylvain barrels for the usual 20 months and was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
