NUCLEUS Cabernet Sauvignon
Estelle Vineyard

Like its Terroir Exclusives sibling The Loin, Nucleus comes from Estelle Vineyard. Whereas The Loin is the filet mignon being 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from an idyllic little rock covered hillside, Nucleus is a little bigger and represents more of the middle ranch. Having a little more space allows one to plant a smidgen of the other noble varietals, Merlot and Petit Verdot, and to try multiple clones of Cabernet Sauvignon as well.

At the Estelle Vineyard, Nucleus will be the future crux of the issue when it comes time to formulate a world-class blend. While the first Nucleus is legally a Cabernet Sauvignon (75%), in the future you just might see the label NUCLEUS, and noth'n else. Finally, there is one thing that Nucleus and The Loin have in common, those ubiquitous, beautiful rocks.
