The Bodegas Pinord Estate
Bodegas Pinord is a family run and operated winery with a long winemaking tradition of over a hundred and fifty years, when the Tetas family started producing white and red wines in Sant Cugat de Sesgarrigues. Today, three generations are working side by side at the winery.
In 1942, Josep Tetas established the current Bodega in Vilafranca del Penedès, in the Catalonia region (D.O. Penedès), just four kilometers from the original estate. The name "Pinord" is derived from a "Pi del Nord" (pine of the north) which used to stand there.
Vilafranca del Penedès is located in between Barcelona and Tarragona, and is covered in the north by the Montserrat Mountains, and in the south by the coast of Sitges and Salou.
The Bodegas Pinord Vineyard
The vineyard measures 100 hectares (247 acres) and include the sites of Montanyans, El Serral and Coll de Bou.
The grapes grown are: Xarel.lo, Macabeo, Parellada and Chardonnay for the whites, and Tempranillo, Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot for the reds. Bodegas Pinord was the pioneer in the introduction of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the Penedès region.
The soil types vary from clay, limestone to sand, and require that the vines are planted at different depths. The Mediterranean climate is mild in winter and summer, and the valleys in the south benefit from the little rainfall.

Échezeaux is loyal to its appellation through the finesse of its attack on the palate and its overall balance. But it's also a wine with pronounced acidity, which gives it freshness and structure and bestows upon it a sometimes austere finish.
Review:
Notably ripe aromas combine notes of poached plum, tangerine peel-inflected chocolate, anise and once again a floral top note. The rich, succulent and admirably concentrated larger-scaled flavors also possess good underlying tension while delivering very fine length and depth on the dusty, austere and built-to-age finale. This too is going to need at least a decade of keeping before it will be reasonably approachable.

I feel this wine expresses the greatness of California and its hidden pockets where Cabernet can excel. The cold Pacific Ocean running the entire length of the state presents maritime influences – and with each small distance eastward the climate warms. Stony soils, south facing slopes and moderately warm conditions are the keys to producing dark, rich and good tasting Cabernet.
A small release from Caymus Vineyards, this wine is a California-appellation Cabernet Sauvignon – supple, dark and rich, bearing the signature hallmarks of Caymus. It is sourced from sites throughout the state which feature climatic conditions, soils and topography that are ideally suited to Cabernet. This project stems from excitement over California's diverse vineyard land, often in lesser-known areas, with the potential to produce exceptional Cabernet.
