Organically Grown 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Grapes

Aged Thirty Months in new French Oak Barrels, two years in bottles

Less than Two Hundred Cases Made Annually

Our cabernet sauvignon grapes are organically grown in two sloping one-acre vineyards lying between 700 and 850 feet in elevation. Each has distinctively different soil and sun conditions, allowing us to produce three very unique wines from our small estate. Manzanita Hill, the lower vineyard, contains more vines and gets intense afternoon sun on its chalky slopes. Rattlesnake Ridge, the terraced upper vineyard, has diverse soils and climate, giving a complexity to the wine not normally seen from a small vineyard. Our third wine is a blend of these two exceptional vineyards. All of our wines are 100% estate grown cabernet sauvignon, aged for 30 months in new French Oak barrels, then hand-bottled at the winery and aged an additional two years before release.

CUSTOMER COMMENTS: Here's what some our customers are saying about our wines.

From www.boulderwineblog.com posted by Brad Rothman, Saturday, June 2, 2007:
"I consider myself to be a reasonably tough critic. Many times I agree with the most prominent writers, but other times I find myself wondering what the hell all the hype is about. This being my inaugural post, however, I've decided to start out on a high note."

"For those who are simply interested in what I think of the wine, and not my experience at the winery, this one is a BUY. It will undoubtedly be one of my highest scoring wines ever at 97 points, and I highly suggest readers get on their mailing list before this producer is discovered by Parker. Full tasting notes are available at the bottom of this post."

"Tasting Notes: Deep purple/black to the rim. Extremely concentrated....Alluring nose of blackcurrant, blackberry, plums, lavender, cigar box, new saddle leather and lead pencil. Slowly builds and unfolds in the mouth revealing layer after layer. A ... brooding."

From JAMES LAUBE UNFINED blog site posted by William Beitz Jr., Brighton, MI January 18, 2007:
"I can afford to drink whatever I please, and with over 2000 bottles in my cellar including the likes of Caymus, Dalla Valle, Hundred Acre, Hartwell, Spottswoode, Insignia, Silver Oak, Shafer Hillside to name a few. I am sick and tired of so called cult cab's hitting the market at ridiculous prices. Let the want-to-be's buy unproven wine at over-inflated prices. The BEST wines in my cellar are...and a Cabernet still unknown to the wine world called Teachworth from Diamond Mountain, well under $100, but worth much more".

From BARRELED, A WINE BLOG January 30, 2007:
"James Laube kicked off a robust blog when he described the pending first release of Levy & McClellan 2004 Napa Valley Cab at the one bottle price of $350. Cutting to the chase, while reading various diatribes of the legion of posters, someone mentioned Teachworth and its recent cab release and I bought a six pack and, well the rest is history".

From an email by Kirk R. Grant, in Maine, January 27, 2007:
"I brought the 2001 Estate blend to my Uncle's 50th Birthday party. What a truly amazing wine you have produced! My uncle was blown away! It became the wine of the evening that people clung to once we all realized the bottle was empty. All in all it was a complete HIT! My notes are below exactly as I wrote them with no filtration (just like your wine!) Thank you for such a tremendous effort".

Color: Squid Ink blue/purple and held up to the light it was the hue of the Pidgeon's Blood ruby I got Mom in Thailand.

Nose: Cassis, Blackberries, Oak, and a hit of Grammy Precious's mincemeat pie.

Taste: Black Currant, Black Cherries, Dark Coca chocolate, and the light sweetness of an over ripe Plum.

Mouth feel/Finish: A smooth, mouth filling wine that starts off dry and rounds out across the palate. It almost creeps and crawls into every corner of my mouth seeking out every taste bud for the fullest flavor profile. 45+ seconds.

Notes: This wine has the seduction of a sweat stained prom gown, the elegance and refinement of british nobility, and the 9 lives of a cat. It will be long lived...and hopefully I can stretch out my remaining 5 bottles over the next 5 years (Highly unlikely!).
