Vintage Notes:
Spectacular vintage with long dry growing season with slow ripening and great acidity balance.
Winemaker's Notes:
This Cabernet Sauvignon is left to mature to its peak before being hand harvested and hand sorted. It undergoes a cold maceration for 5 days before fermentation. Extended skin contact rounds out the palate and integrates the rich tannins to seamless perfection. Finally, it ages in French oak barrels for 9 months prior to bottling.
