Description:
Harvested in late October and early November, the 1999 Frazier Cabernet Sauvignon with its very low yield promised a wine of extraordinary concentration. Through a vigorous pumpover regime, followed by extended maceration periods of 38 days on average, we believe this to be the finest Cabernet Sauvignon we have released.
As is our practice, the free run wine from each individual vineyard block was drawn off the fermenters and was moved to 100% new French oak barrels for aging. Each separate wine lot was nurtured through quarterly barrel rackings in the first year before blending. In September of 2000, 6% Merlot was added to enhance the full impression of fruit aromas and flavors. The wine was allowed to develop further with an additional 9 months of aging with another 1.5% Merlot added prior to bottling in July 2001.
