Wine Details
Price:
$21.99 per bottle
Description:
The growing season saw these grapes harvested at optimum ripeness during September and into October with an average of 24.5 brix. Picking took place in the early morning to keep the fruit as cool as possible. Upon arrival at the winery the grapes for this wine were de-stemmed, but not crushed, leaving over 90% whole berries. The Cabernet Sauvignon juice was fermented with temperatures controlled between 76°F-85°F receiving extended skin contact up to 21 days for maximum extraction. 85% of the wine was transferred to French and European oak barrels and aged for 11 months, where the wine completed malolactic fermentation. The wine was racked every 3-4 months prior to bottling, and bottle aged at an optimum of 6 months before release.
