McCarthy Family Estate Vineyard has created an exceptional, limited production Cabernet Sauvignon for the sophisticated wine connoisseur. Nestled in foothills above Los Gatos, McCarthy Family Estate Vineyard encompasses six acres of dry farmed, organically grown vineyards, with a desired southwest exposure, on steep naturally draining slope, which continues the historical growing of Cabernet grapes in the Santa Cruz Mountain Appellation, and more specifically the Jesuits growing Cabernet grapes over a 100 years ago on their contiguous parcel.
The first harvest, of primarily three-year-old vines, was in 2006, which amounted to a very small quantity. Harvests have increased exponentially and full production was reached in year 2010 and continues at a high-level production. McCarthy Family Estate expanded production in 2024 of estate grown chardonnay and sauvignon blanc. The annual production of ranch variety is approximately 50 cases annually. The chardonnay and sauvignon blanc have continued and followed the exceptional cabernet sauvignon.
