Winemaker Notes
The growing season saw these gra=
pes
harvested at optimum ripeness during September and into October with an ave=
rage
of 24.5 brix. Picking took place in the early m=
orning
to keep the fruit as cool as possible. Upon arrival at the winery, the grap=
es
for this wine were de-stemmed, but not crushed, leaving over 90% whole berr=
ies.
The Cabernet Sauvignon juice was fermented with temperatures controlled bet=
ween
76°F-85°F receiving extended skin contact up to 21 days for maximum
extraction. About 95% of the wine was transferred to oak barrels and aged f=
or
an average of 8 months, where the wine completed malol=
actic
fermentation. The wine was racked every 3-4 months prior to bottling, and
bottle aged at an optimum of 6 months before release.
