The 16-acre Pauli Vineyard on Howell Mountain in Napa Valley comprises four individual blocks, planted to nine different clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, with a gentle rolling southwest slope. Volcanic-based soils with iron-rich deposits and densely spattered volcanic rocks create a unique mosaic. Careful attention is paid to Cabernet Sauvignon’s separate vineyard blocks and clones as Toby hand-farms utilizing his deep knowledge of farming practices and soil management. This combination of sparse layers of soil, easy-draining subsoils, and elevation yields a natural environment fostering intensity, color, and naturally firm tannins promoting a distinctive structure and character in the wine.
