These are Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that typically are harvested at 24-25 degree brix in late September or early October. It would be quite possible to cultivate these vines for a higher quality and higher price per ton with more intensive cultivation practices and a lower production volume.
Peaceful Wine Country Living
The Mokelumne River glides past the picturesque home, which was built in 2004. The land, and parcels surrounding have been in the Kirschenmann family for four generations.
