Martin Estate's Cabernet Sauvignon is grown, produced and bottled exclusively at the Rutherford Estate which was established in 1887.
Located in Block B of the original Caymus land grant, the historic property in the heart of Rutherford pedigrees back to the estate of George C. Yount. After almost 100 years of dormancy, the massive stone Chateau has been returned to its original use by the Martin Family with the intent of making a Cabernet Sauvignon of the highest quality.
Martin Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is limited to what its vineyard property yields. The organically farmed Puerta Dorada Vineyard consists of eight acres of tightly spaced Clones 4, 6 and 337. Astonishingly, the land had never been planted until 1996, thus the vineyard had the incredible advantage of a soil, or "Rutherford Dust", that had not been depleted by decades of monoculture and chemical impact.
When Andre Tchelistcheff said in the 1940's that "It takes Rutherford Dust to make a great Cabernet Sauvignon", he most certainly referred to sites like "Puerta Dorada".
Selective picking by hand ensures maximum flavor and the desired ripeness in each lot. Clones are separated by picking dates. All grapes are hand sorted with only the best fruit selected and de-stemmed within minutes of harvest. Each lot is fermented in French oak casks and barrels, as well as imported French cement tanks, then aged for approximately 18 months in French oak. Martin Estate winemaker Frederic Delivert guides the wine from grape to bottle, which is a full time occupation.
The intensity of Martin Estate Cabernet Sauvignon mirrors its terroir, expressing a harmonious balance between structure and flavor - allowing you to taste the full expression of the fruit and the place it was grown. "Do you know where your wine has been?" ® |
