Three Vineyard Blend

Estate fruit harvested from the northern reaches of Dry Creek Valley, where these Bordeaux varietals excel. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot were hand-picked just a mile from the winery. Here these varietals develop exceptional character on the vineyard sites situated on the valley bench. The vines receive the right amount of sun and cooling fog which develops optimal flavors in the grapes. Careful vineyard management during the growing season defines our style even more.

Winemaking

The grapes were harvested over the third week of September after a warm growing season. Mild acids, soft tannins and high intensity of color and flavors dominate in this vintage. The fruit was crushed into temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Periodic pump-overs of the cap during fermentation gives the young wine a substantial increase of flavor, tannin and color. Adding Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot adds levels of flavor and complexity.
Our Cabernet Sauvignon was aged in 70% American oak barrels for twelve months in order to develop smoothness and complexity. An additional 30% was aged in new French oak to provide a subtle backbone of vanilla and toasted oak highlights.
