Winemaking The Cabernet was pumped over frequently and cold soaked for 3 days and then fermented in stainless steel tank for 9 days with the maximum temperature of 88 degrees. It was put through extended maceration for another 3 weeks and pressed on 11/7/2000. Malolactic fermentation took place in the barrel. The wines were racked 4 times before being blended in May of 2003 and bottled in August of 2003. Tasting Notes Located at 750 feet elevation overlooking Silverado Trail in Rutherford, this hillside vineyard produces fruit with distinction and purity. After a long fermentation and extended maceration of 35 days total, the wine was pressed and aged in 100% new French oak for 21 months. A touch of Merlot and Cabernet Franc were added for further complexity. The finished wine shows an array flavors of spice, blackcurrants, cedar and mocha, supported by sweet, ripe, mouth-coating tannins that lead to a very long finish. A massive wine from a near perfect vintage, it is very approachable and yet patience will be a virtue.
