Vinification
The 2017 growing season began with plenty of rain followed by warm temperatures. Superb weather conditions during harvest allowed the grapes to reach full ripeness with balanced acids. Harvest ended the last week of September.
The grapes were destemmed and cold-soaked for 48 hours. After inoculation with the Bordeaux yeast strain, fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks where the juice was gently stirred and circulated to maximize the flavor and color from the skins. Once fermented dry, the new wine is pressed and stored until barreled in the winter months.
Ageing: 15 months in American oak combined the 35% new French oak barrels
