Description:
This wine is 95% merlot and 5% cabernet franc. After a long and wonderful growing season the merlot was hand picked between October 17th and November 2nd at full maturity. The cabernet franc was picked on November 5th. The grapes were cold macerated at 50°Fahrenheit for up to three days prior to beginning of fermentation. The wine was tank fermented up to a temperature of 84° Fahrenheit and the pump over method was applied three times a day (every 8 hr) to extract color and mouthfeel. Total skin contact lasted 22 days. The wine stayed in French barrels (28% new oak) for 12.5 months during which in the first two months malolactic fermentation was completed.
