Product Description
The 2011 vintage was one of the coolest years on record. Most grape varieties were harvested up to a month later than normal. The cool season and late harvest gave us wines with ample acidity, restrained tannins, and wines with true varietal characteristics. In the vineyard, we reduced crop levels and leaf-thinned to open up the canopies as a means to improve uniformity of ripening. In the winery, we saw more elegant wines with tame tannins. Winemaking: At the winery, the handpicked fruit is destemmed and placed into small fermentors where they are punched down 2-3 times per day during fermentation to gently extract color and tannin. After draining and a gentle pressing of the skins, the wine is then racked to barrels where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and 28 months of aging in French and American oak barrels.
