WINEMAKER'S COMMENTS
This Cabernet Sauvignon was barrel-aged in American oak for approximately 18 months to achieve the perfect balance. Small amounts of Petite Sirah were added to create this big, lush Cabernet Sauvignon boasting a great deal of complexity. The wine was bottled unfiltered and unfined to preserve all the natural flavors and is totally natural with the exception of yeast added during fermentation. The limestone characteristics of our vineyards allow us to produce this Cabernet Sauvignon with 100% natural acid. 562 cases produced.
