Buckeye Vineyard:

In 1996 we bought a 5.91-acre property on top of Howell Mountain which we now call “Buckeye.” With a Southwest exposure, it is planted to 100% Cabernet Sauvignon in 5x8 and 4x4 spacing stretching across the different contours of the vineyard. The vineyard extends across a partially terraced hillside and a protected natural bowl and the slopes vary, going up to 18% in some places. This vineyard is almost within sight of a ranch homesteaded by our great-grandfather Charles Glos in the 1880s.

The vineyard is farmed sustainably, with owl houses and raptor perches. Cover crops include rose clover, crimson clover and Blando brome. There is quite a diversity of soils within the vineyard, from Aiken loam to Boomer Forward Felta Complex. Our first release from Buckeye was the 2000 vintage.
