The vineyards are broken into a myriad of at least 20 separate blocks, each picked and fermeted separately. Once harvested, the grapes are optically sorted, cooled and destemmed. Fermentation is in temperature controlled steel tanks, with each vineyard block fermented as an individual wine. After 10 days the wine is transferred into new and used French oak ( 100% ) to finish fermentation. Racking takes place in the Spring, and the wine benefits from 18 months in 100% French oak, with barrels hand-picked.

Wine & Spirits | December 2021 Year’s Best U.S. Cabernets, 92 points “Cherry kirsch and allspice introduce this wine, giving it the sensibility of a gangly adolescent. That lean and awkward moment passes as oxygen has its way with the wine, enriching it, bringing depths to its notes of exotic dried fruits, emphasizing the floral complexity of a clean young cabernet.

Fine-grained yet grippy tannins coat the full-bodied palate, packed with unctuous layers of blue and black fruits, tobacco, violets and graphite through a cocoa-dusted finish. A real standout from a challenging vintage.”
