Description
Drawn from top Napa vineyards with each vineyard fermented separately in small tanks. Native fermentation started after a 5-day cold soak and reached a peak temperature of 90°F. The wines were pumped over a few times a day until dry and then pressed and drained to barrels where malolactic fermentation occurred. Aged in 50% new medium toast French oak barrels, the wine matures for 22 months before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Fresh and vibrant with great mouthfeel and a long finish, this wine is very approachable in its youth. This wine will age beautifully for the next 15 years.
