The fruit was harvested in the cool early morning and brought immediately into the winery where the berries were destemmed and sorted using the latest technology in winemaking. The grapes were then cold soaked for 5 days to gently ease color and flavor. During the 10 to 12 day fermentation, timely pump-overs kept the skins in contact with the juice for excellent flavor and tannin extraction. The wine spent 20 months in 70% new French oak barrels - giving the final blend softened tannins and toasty barrel notes.
