This wine is crafted from meticulously chosen grapes, cultivated in the premium vineyards of the Horse Heaven Hills AVA winery. Renowned for its optimal climate and soil conditions, the winery is particularly suited for the growth of Cabernet Sauvignon. The grape harvest is automated through the use of cutting-edge Pellenc harvester technology, ensuring the collection of only the most pristine berries. These grapes are then fermented in stainless steel tanks a brief duration, followed by cooling to 82°F to prevent the over-extraction of tannins. The contact time with the skin ranges between 7 and 10 days. Post fermentation, half of the wine is aged in oak barrels, while the remaining half matures in a tank for a period of 20-24 months before being bottled.
