  • State Lane Vineyard
    In 1982, we began purchasing cabernet sauvignon from this vineyard on State Lane in Yountville and we have referred to it as ‘State Lane Vineyard’ on some of our earliest cabernet sauvignon wines. The vineyard quickly became the main source of Cabernet Sauvignon for our CORLEY RESERVE Cabernet Sauvignon and in 1989 we had the good fortune to be able to acquire the vineyard.

    The cabernet sauvignon vines farmed in the 1980’s were originally planted in 1971. Due to phylloxera we replanted the vineyard in the 1990’s. The 12+ acre site is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon clone #337. We are pleased to have this vineyard jewel return to maturity after its re-planting. The grapes again provide the majority of cabernet sauvignon for our CORLEY RESERVE Cabernet Sauvignon and are an important component of our CORLEY Proprietary Red Wine.
