Sequum 'Four Soils' Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley, California

Sequum Wines was founded by viticulturist and soils expert, Dr. Paul Skinner with his first vintage in 2002. Paul’s background is diverse and includes both domestic and international soils analysis and vineyard management. His first wine related job in Napa Valley was working for Martini Winery, focusing on some of their vineyards in Lake County to the north of Napa Valley. Since then, he has consulted for numerous wineries and vineyard projects, primarily in Napa Valley, Sonoma County, Monterey County and other parts of California but also in other parts of the U.S. He chose Sequum to honor his career studying, mapping and consulting about soils in relation to vineyard development. Sequum is a soil science term describing the vertical relationship of various layers of soil.

"Four Soils' is sourced from four distinctive vineyards and regions in the valley including from Pride Mountain Vineyards on Spring Mountain (Aiken series), Chimney Rock in the Stags Leap District (Bale series), the historic Lewelling Vineyard, which may be the longest continuously family owned and farmed property in Napa Valley, dating back to 1864 (Cortina series) and Usibelli Vineyards in Pope Valley (Bressa series).
