This is a small, hillside vineyard on the lower slopes of eastern Oakville has iron-rich red soil. The 2016 blend is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Petit Verdot. The Cabernet Sauvignon (Clone 7) was planted on St. George and 110R rootstock with 4' x 8' spacing in 1990. The Petit Verdot (Sterling selection) was planted on 110R rootstock with 4' x 6' spacing in 1993.\u003cbr\u003eBlend: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine has been given time to mature in bottle and still has years to go. Cedar, pencil shavings, crushed rock and firm tannin accentuate the savory, complex concentration and intensity. Black olive, grilled meat and game contribute additional flavor and texture.

Deep ruby in color, its aromas slowly unfurl from a core of Morello cherries to nuances of cigar wrappers and meaty undertones. The full-bodied palate is concentrated yet weightless, with pixelated tannins, seamless acidity and a very long finish with latent savory undertones. This powerful Cabernet has much more to offer as it develops in bottle and will be long lived in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\" itemprop=\"author\"\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 pts. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\" itemprop=\"author\"\u003eThe 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Pedregal Vineyard is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and the remainder Petit Verdot.
