Archimedes Pine Mountain

“On the palate, dark fruits and wild mushroom emerge alongside subtle hints of pie crust and forest floor. The finish is long, resonant, and polished, shaping a wine that is both expressive and built to evolve gracefully for decades. This wine is a study in structure and longevity, offering a glimpse into the soul of high-elevation Cabernet Sauvignon: bold, balanced, and profoundly age-worthy.”

Crafted in small lots and sourced almost entirely from the Archimedes Vineyard, this limited-production wine captures the essence of mountain viticulture: a balance of patience, precision, and place. At over 2,500 feet above sea level, the vineyard sits among the highest in Sonoma County, perched above the fog line in the Pine Mountain-Cloverdale Peak AVA. Here, vines face demanding conditions—rocky, loam-rich soils, intense sunlight, brisk winds, and steep slopes that require handwork at every turn. These natural stresses yield small, thick-skinned berries of remarkable color and depth, resulting in wines of profound concentration and character.

Each vintage will reflect the individuality of the mountain, shaped by elevation, exposure, and dramatic diurnal shifts. No two years will be alike, yet all will share a signature style, tension, and unmistakable sense of place. With naturally low yields, production remains extremely limited and each bottle stands as a focused, authentic expression of this singular site – a wine of density, layered complexity, and age-worthy structure.
