Farmer-First Sonoma Cabernet from an Epic Vintage
Pied à Terre — “foot to earth” — is a philosophy as much as a label. This producer believes the farmer’s footprint is the best fertilizer and the most important sight in a vineyard: when the land is well-trodden, the vine will be well-tended. Their 2018 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon comes from one of California’s great recent vintages — cooler temperatures and a long growing season produced wines of exceptional structure and concentration without overripeness.

Pied à Terre is a phrase that translates to “foot to earth.” We feel that the farmer’s footprint is the best fertilizer and the most important sight in a vineyard. When the land is well-trodden, the vine will be well-tended, and the details not overlooked.
2018 was the first “normal” vintage in many years, with none of the climatic difficulties that complicated previous years of the past decade. Cooler temperatures and moderate weather led to a long growing season, allowing grapes to ripen smoothly. It was an epic vintage that produced wines with great structure and concentration without being overripe.
