Winemaker Notes
Under the direction of winemakers James Schreiner and Chris Rougeot, each lot underwent a three to four-day cold soak for gentle extraction. This was followed by warm fermentations at an average of 88 to 90 degrees to draw out further extraction of color and tannin. At the conclusion of fermentation, the free-run juice was selected to ensure a pure, full mouthfeel. After settling, the free-run lots were racked to 50-percent new French oak barrels, where they were aged for six months prior to blending. The final blend was then returned to barrels for 10 additional months of maturation and integration.
