VINEYARD
Grapes for our 2013 Unfiltered Cabernet Sauvignon were harvested and blended from our three Napa Valley vineyards located within the Spring Mountain, Mt. Veeder and Yountville appellations.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
The 2013 vintage in the Napa Valley was warm, dry and early. Despite the ongoing drought conditions over much of California, our vineyards secured just enough winter and spring rainfall to make it through the dry summer months. The grapes were able to fully ripen in ideal conditions in late summer and into fall. 2013 will likely be a celebrated vintage for Napa with powerful and intense flavors, balanced acidity and long rich and mouth filling textures.
VINIFICATION
Once harvested, our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were sorted using an optical sorter that inspects individual berries to ensure uniform, perfect ripeness. The must then underwent five days of a cold soak followed by seven days of fermentation using native yeasts. The wine then rested on the skins for up to one month to develop additional complexity before being pressed and aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, 30 percent of which were new.
