The fruit for this 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon was selected from three estate vineyards in Paso Robles. It was handpicked at night in small lots to ensure perfect quality and ripeness. Afterwards, the fruit was destemmed and gently crushed into temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Pumpovers took place regularly to enhance color and help extract tannins from the skin. After pressing, the wine was racked into barrels to complete malolactic fermentation and aging. Before bottling, they blended in 15% Petit Verdot and 10% Tannat from their Huerhuero Vineyard to round out the blend. The Petit Verdot softens out the tannins while the Tannat enhances the structure.
From the winemaker – “The color of this cabernet is bright garnet with aromas of black cherry, currants, and coriander. The taste is a medium to rich body; dry smooth tannins and a long balanced finish.”
