1997 Herb Lamb Cabernet Magnum
In 1987, Jennifer and Herb Lamb purchased a 7 acre rocky hillside, ranging from 600 to 800 feet in elevation, with a slope of 20-50%, just below the Howell Mountain designation. They cleared it of trees and rocks and graded wide terraces in preparation for planting the King of grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon. Their dreams became a reality with the first fruits of their labor in 1991, giving a modest crop that was sold to neighboring winemakers. With an average yield of less than two tons per acre, they recognized that this was no “get rich quick” scheme, and neither one quit their day job. Winemaker Michael Trujillo chose the unique quality of the fruit for inclusion in his new wine venture, and by 1992 Ann Colgin and her winemaker Helen Turley selected the vineyard fruit as the sole source for her signature wine, Colgin Cellars, continuing to purchase Herb Lamb Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon grapes for the next 15 years.

With much encouragement, Jennifer and Herb took the leap from grape grower to wine brand in 1997 and produced their first 50 cases of HL Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon to rave reviews. Farmed sustainably with minimum intervention, the vineyard was cultivated with respect for the land and animals who inhabit it and is still certified with Fish Friendly Farming. Only 200-300 cases of HL Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon were produced annually from the same few rows of the north-east facing hillside estate vineyard, creating vintage-distinctive wines year after year.
