Winemaker Notes

A deeply concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon with an intense bouquet of black plum, dried fig, black pepper, roasted coffee and notes of anise. A richly textured wine with pleasing round tannins and a freshness on the palate that highlights ripe blueberries, dark cherry, baking spices and caramel notes along the satisfying lengthy finish.

Winemakeing Notes

The fruit was hand-harvested in the cool morning hours and brought to the winery in half-ton bins. The clusters were sorted using a double sorting system, first sorted by hand. The fruit then ran through a small de-stemmer before the individual berries were sorted to ensure that the ideal grapes were chosen. These berries were delivered to a fermenter where there was a period of resting on skins. Warm fermentation temperatures were encouraged along with gentle cap maceration to achieve the desired color and structure for the wine before an extended maceration time on skins prior to final pressing. The wine was transferred directly to barrel for 18 months of maturation.
