Located in the northern stretch of the Mt. Veeder appellation, Paon Vineyard is directly west of Mt. St. John’s highest elevation. The vineyard elevation ranges from 900 to 1200 feet, and has a south/southeast exposure. The diverse soil composition varies between weathered sandstone and shale, resulting in porous well-drained soils, low yields and moderate vigor. Five acres of Cabernet Sauvignon clones 169 and 338 were densely planted to rootstock 101-14. The unique microclimate, topography, and astute farming of the Paon Vineyard site result in a classic wine of depth, nuance, and pedigree.
