Winemaking Notes
- We wanted to make sure that the berries developed our desired flavor profile at harvest which is why we waited until the brix levels were above 24 for all three varieties:
- Merlot was harvested at 24 brix
- Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested at 24 brix
- Cabernet Franc was harvested at 24.5 brix.
- All of these wines were fermented in stainless steel tanks with three pump overs on a daily basis.
- Aged in barrels for 19 months
- Cabernet Sauvignon was aged 50% in New American Oak and 50% in Neutral Oak
- Cabernet Franc was aged entirely in New American Oak
- Merlot was aged 25% in New American Oak and 75% in Neutral Oak.
