Since 1999, ZD’s Rutherford and Carneros Estates have been certified organic by the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF). Founder Norman deLeuze believed that great wines are made from healthy vines and today his original commitment to sustainability is carried on in the winery’s approach to organic farming. Winery note: "Abacus is our ultimate Cabernet Sauvignon. This very special solera style bottling of every ZD Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon ever produced is a vertical in a bottle. Abacus XVIII the most recent bottling of Abacus includes 24 vintages of Cabernet from 1992-2015. The resulting wine is a spectacular Cabernet Sauvignon having the complex and developed qualities of an aged wine along with the vibrant intensity of a youthful wine, melded together into one sumptuous wine."
