Only 25 minutes from San Jose or Palo Alto or 50 minutes from San Francisco, Cooper-Garrod is a family owned and operated estate winery. Located on unirrigated hillsides above Saratoga, the vines capitalize on the sunny days, moderate nights, and long growing season of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Cooper-Garrod Estate Vineyards looks and smells like a winery! Barrels, fermentation locks, hoses, pumps, busy lab (not canine), and the winemaker comes home with clothes splashed a little purple/red every day.

Cooper-Garrod Estate Vineyards still has some George's Vineyard cab on the vine. George has held on to at least 93... so these grapes should be just fine holding on a little longer, too!

The rain washed off the field dust, and we watch sugars (brix) to see whether they change with the influx of H2O.

These particular Cab Sauv vineyards are higher on the hillside and with a brighter exposure, so they are the earlier of our three CS to come in. We have been waiting on the Chardonnay this year, and some of it will keep us waiting a big longer still.
