Wine Facts
Winemaker Notes
The grapes come from the winery’s Lodi vineyards. The soils are sandy loam – and well-drained. After traditional fermentation, the Cabernet Sauvignon is aged for six months in new French oak barrels. The winery practices sustainable viticultural practices such as crop reduction, leaf removal, organic materials and drip irrigation to improve the quality of the grapes and intensity of flavors. Cover crops, which attract beneficial insects, are also employed, as well as the placement of owl and wood duck boxes around the vineyards and ponds to help preserve the surrounding habitats.
Interesting Facts
Born from a love of horses, Leaping Horse is aptly named. The Kautz family have been involved in many generations of riders and are passionate about equine friends and partners. Leaping Horse is all about unpretentious and contemporary wine styles.
Serving Hints
Serve with hearty stews and beef-based soups, grilled or barbecued red meats, pasta dishes with tomato- based sauces, strong cheeses or grilled chicken. It also pairs well with rich chocolate desserts.
