| Winemaking Notes | The fruit for this Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested by hand at the peak of ripeness between late September and October, earlier than in past years. The grapes were then destemmed and pressed. After a warm fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation to soften the mouthfeel. It was then aged for 6 months in 100 percent French oak, 40% of it new, lending complex barrel notes to the finished wine and creating a medium toast level. |
| Vintage Notes | The second vintage of our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon was crafted predominantly from Butler Ranch, one of our Regenerative Organic Certified estate vineyards in Mendocino County. Extreme elevation and rare Redvine soils make this mountain site ideal for growing well-structured Cabernet Sauvignon with rich layers of flavor. Fruit from Blue Heron Vineyard’s single Cabernet Sauvignon block was also incorporated. This lower elevation riverside vineyard is named for the many generations of great blue herons that have nested in the vineyard’s protected oak grove. The 2022 growing season in Mendocino County was characterized by lower-than-average rainfall in the winter and spring, and characteristically high temperatures throughout the summer. Early rain and temperature dips and spikes in September contributed to a complex harvest season. The resulting Cabernet Sauvignon fruit delivered depth and complexity in the glass. |
