Yields, Estate Cabernet Parcels:
60 tons from 41.7 acres
2015 Cabernet Sauvignon, bottled 5/17 A dry, warm, winter brought an early start to the growing season but late spring storms severely cut yields. Warm days and nights through summer ripened the grapes for a September harvest. Pump-overs, during fermentation, were reduced to maintain balanced tannins. The most sensuous lots were selected during the assemblage tasting in January. The intense fruit of this fine vintage will support further development over the next fifteen years. EB (3/17)
Ingredients: Hand harvested, sustainably grown grapes; indigenous yeasts; calcium carbonate; naturally occurring malolactic bacteria; oak from barrel aging; minimum effective SO2. EB (3/17)
