Winemaking

The wines were cold soaked for 3 to 5 days and then fermented in stainless steel tanks for 7 to 10 days with the maximum temperature of 90 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 June of 2005 and bottled in August of 2005.

Tasting Notes

This elegant Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot was created with earlier accessability in mind.  Earth, fruit, and tobacco notes show up the nose, leading to a restrained mid-palate of dried cherry, plum, and cassis, framed by ripe but moderately chewy tannins. Underlying flavors of cocoa powder, chocolate, and orange peel round out the wine through its long finish.  It shows intensity and yet is smooth.
