Cain Vineyard & Winery is dedicated to our signature Cabernet blend, Cain Five. Composed of the five classic varieties of the Cabernet/Bordeaux family, Cain Five epitomizes the benefits of blending to achieve a complex wine, supple and rich of texture, combining a full, firm structure with a long and subtle finish.
In 1980, Joyce and Jerry Cain purchased part of the McCormick Ranch, a homestead dating back to the 1840s. The Cains were in search of a unique mountain property where they could realize their dream of planting the five classical Bordeaux varieties from which to draw one ideally structured wine—a blend of all five varieties. That wine would become Cain Five. Jim and Nancy Meadlock joined the Cains in 1986, and, in 1991, they purchased full ownership. The first Cain Five, the 1985 vintage, was released in 1989.
OUR PHILOSOPHY of winemaking is simple: ripe fruit, gentle handling, attention to detail, timely intervention, and judicious blending. There is no particular secret—we all know that the key lies in the grapes. Each facet of the vineyard is picked at the optimum moment, and each lot is vinified separately and finishes its fermentation in the barrel. Following the careful evaluation of each lot, trial blends are prepared and, after many tastings, the final blend is made in the spring following the harvest. Cain Five is aged as a blend so that all the components can meld to form a complete whole.
