Description
One of the joys of each harvest is finding the "sweet spot" – the fraction of wine at the heart of each lot. For the 2005 vintage, we captured one such barrel from a prized parcel of Clone 6 Cabernet Sauvignon. After the free-run was drained from the tank, the wine-soaked skins were loaded into the press. The most intense and concentrated single-barrel fraction emerged from that first gentle pressing, gaining richness, density and structure from the additional maceration.
