NOTES

The 2017 Barrique Cab is sourced from two noteworthy California AVA's: Dry Creek Valley and Knights Valley.

VINIFICATION: The grapes were destemmed only, then transferred by gravity to stainless steel fermentation tanks. After a long cold soak, the must was allowed to warm and ferment with indigenous yeast. After a steady fermentation to complete dryness, the new wine stayed on the grape skins for an extended maceration to develop mouthfeel and structure. The wine was pressed off 21 days after it went into tank. Malolactic fermentation was left to complete indigenously. The wine was aged for 14 months in 100% French oak barrels, with 33% new oak.
