HIDDEN RIDGE VINEYARD
EXTREME MOUNTAIN TERRAINCABERNET SAUVIGNON
HIDDEN RIDGE VINEYARD
Located on one of the steepestvineyard sites in all of California,
Hidden Ridge Vineyard stands alone.
Spectacular and Extreme
Daring, Dedication and Drive
Lynn Hofacket and wife and partner Casidy Ward purchase a remote abandoned private hunting club and transform that untamed wilderness, almost single handedly, into a
magnificently terraced Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard
Handcrafted by the well recognized winemaking team of veteran Marco DiGiulio and Timothy Milos
High mountain style cabernet sauvignon from extreme single vineyard estate
Ideal mountain cabernet location on the “west side” of Spring Mountain
Closest neighbors; Pride Mountain and Paloma Vineyards.
Rich, concentrated, small berry mountain fruit
Exclusive, family-owned, ultra-premium, limited production winery
Hidden Ridge – The Essentials
Hidden Ridge Vineyard lies in the Mayacamas Range between Napa & Sonoma Counties
So remote the area was referred to as the “Impassible Mountain.”
Elevations range from 900 to 1,700 feet and as steep as 55% slope
Terrain offers an abundance of micro-climates
54 acres of Cabernet clones 337, 4, 7, 169 and one acre of Petit Verdot; divided into 21 blocks
Uplifted & faulted over time. The vineyard has round river rocks found on the tops of ridges
Vineyard soils are Sonoma volcanic shale (volcanic basalt) and sandy clay loam
Planted with inside & outside rows of 5% grade terraces that follow the natural shape of the mountain for optimum sun orientation
VSP trellis system, modified to allow late afternoon shade

Hands On

Hofacket and Ward are dedicated to keeping production small and exclusively estate grown to secure for a long time to come the
future of their unique and exceptional vineyard.
A Winemaker’s Delight
“In 1999, I was introduced to a vineyard that quite literally shifted the paradigm for me. A vineyard so steep, so well developed, so interesting in its planning scheme and with so much vision behind it that I could not help but be blown away…It’s really that amazing.” Winemaker, Marco DiGiulio
“…the challenge and the opportunity of
this unique property is a winemaker's delight.” Marco
