Winemaking

The wines were cold soaked for 2 to 3 days and then fermented in stainless steel tanks and one ton bins for 7 to 10 days with the maximum temperature of 85 degrees. The Cabernet Sauvignon lots were put through extended maceration for another 3 weeks. The lots were pressed into barrels where malolactic fermentation took place and monitored separately. They were racked 5 times before being blended in May of 2002 and bottled in August of 2002.

Tasting Notes

This Bordeaux blend offers scents of violets, spices, herbs and black fruits. Sweet, ripe, well-focused fruit in the core of the wine with its smooth, silky mouth feel leads to a clean, integrated finish. The emphasis on this wine is on finesse and elegance. While this wine is very drinkable now, we believe it will soften and develop with further aging.
