The grapes were hand-picked, crushed and fermented in small lots to preserve fruit character and prevent extraction of harsh tannins. October 08, 2017, the wine was moved to barrel using 1/2 new, 1/2 once filled French Oak barrels from the Nevers forest. The wine was racked twice yearly until bottling. After 24 months of oak aging, the wine was bottled. Since then it has rested in bottle, allowing the flavors to mature. This 100% single vineyard Coombsville Cabernet expresses.Winemaker Notes
