Vintage
The 2014 vintage in Alexander Valley had a relatively early start to the growing season. Moderate temperatures and consistently dry, warm days throughout the winter and spring resulted in ideal ripening of the fruit. Overall, the vintage produced grapes of high quality and balanced acidity. The grapes were harvested September 4th to October 13th, 2014 at optimum maturity. Then it was fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks where the fruit was cold-soaked and pumped over once a day for several days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was transferred to barrel and stirred weekly until malolactic fermentation was complete. It was aged in French, Hungarian and American oak (30% new) for 21 months prior to bottling.
