Massa Vineyard is located in the remote highlands of Carmel Valley and sits at 1700 feet in elevation, overlooking the hills of the remote Cachagua region.

Massa's first Cabernet Sauvignon vines were planted on their own roots in 1968 by the Durney family. We are lucky to source our fruit from this original 1968 block. In 2023, we also sourced from a nearby block planted in '71. The vineyard has been farmed using organic practices since inception and received its organic certification in the 1980s.

We destemmed 100% of the grapes and fermented on the skins for 30 days. After fermentation, the wine aged in neutral French oak barrels for 10 months.

With no new oak influence, this wine is a transparent taste of beautiful coastal mountain Cabernet Sauvignon ... our ode to the old-school Cabs of California.
