| Vinification |
The grapes were carefully harvested and destemmed, then transferred to upright tanks for a three to four-day cold soak. The must had 15 to 20 days of skin contact and was pumped over two to three times a day. Each lot was aged and evaluated separately, with the final blend taking place in February 2018. In total, the wine was aged for 21 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels (30% new). Grapes for this Cabernet Sauvignon were carefully selected from several of our premium Napa Valley vineyards, including Sun Lake, Cypress Ranch and Sage Canyon. The 2016 growing season was remarkably steady. A cooperative spring and warm summer allowed grapes to ripen fully and evenly, allowing us to pick blocks across Napa Valley at optimum maturity and complexity. The 2016 vintage offers intense aromas with outstanding concentration, structure and balance. |
