Winemaking The Cabernet was pumped over frequently and cold soaked for 4 days and then fermented in stainless steel tank for 9 days with the maximum temperature of 90 degrees. It was put through extended maceration for another 3 weeks and pressed on 11/9/2002. Malolactic fermentation took place in the barrel. The wines were racked 5 times and aged 29 months in oak before being bottled in March of 2005. Tasting Notes After a long fermentation and extended maceration, the wine was pressed and aged in 100% new French oak for 29 months. A touch of Merlot and Cabernet Franc were added for further complexity. Probably the most concentrated Sacrashe we've made so far, its integrated tannins frame the complex, tightly knit flavors of baked stone fruits, chocolate, wild mushrooms, and smoked meat An extremely dense wine that should easily last more than 10 years under proper cellar conditions, we recommend aeration of at least half a day if you wish to drink it young.
