The grapes for this wine come from Stan Simpson’s remote “Two Moon Vineyard” which is located on a steep slope in the western mountains above the Dry Creek Valley floor. This vineyard is especially appealing because of its razor thin soils and high alltitude. These factors lead to small crop levels of high intensity fruit with substantial tannins.
The “Monte Rosso” or “Red Mountain” vineyard is so named for its rich, red volcanic soils. Nestled in the majestic Mayacamas Mountain range, almost 1,000 feet above the Sonoma Valley floor, this steep and rugged mountain vineyard has a desirable western exposure that produce intense, powerful wines.
The 2007 August Briggs Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of two very special mountain vineyards: The first is the famed Stagecoach vineyard on the rocky, volcanic soils of Atlas Peak; and the second is the Corbett vineyard located on a rocky hillside just north of the town on St. Helena in the Spring Mountain appellation. Both of these vineyards are located pproximately 1000 feet above the Napa Valley floor.
