$14.99 per bottle
Description:
Grapes from several Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards contributed to the final balanced blend of this wine. A relatively short growing season saw these grapes harvested in September and early October at 24 to 24.5 brix.
The grapes were destemmed, but not crushed, and 20 to 30 per cent of the grapes went whole into fermentation. Two days of cold soaking were followed by up to a week of active fermentation at 85 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit. Several different strains of yeast were used, each to complement different characteristics in wine.
The wine was aged in the traditional fashion, in small oak barrels from several French and American coopers. The resulting wine is complex but approachable, ready to drink now or put away for a few years.
