The Sunset Vineyard was planted in 2007 by Dick Boushey. Located on the Western side of Sunset Road at approximately 725 feet above sea level, it is a little more sheltered from the high winds of Red Mountain. The site is between Ciel du Cheval and Klipsun, and the soil is a well drained Warden/Scooteney silt above a layer of tightly compacted gravel and calcium deposits. This small 3 acre vineyard provides characteristics slightly different from the Ambassador Vineyard and its' greater wind exposure. This small planting is dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon #8, and Malbec #4.
