Description

We began the blending process for "Pyramid Selection" 12 months after harvest. First, we rank seven different lots and taste each to establish preliminary blends. With this information, we pull samples from barrels in the lots that we like and rank the quality of those barrels. Finally, we take the top barrels from the two or three lots that compose our preliminary best blend and establish what we think is the best wine from Mast and Flat Rock vineyards. The percentage used from each vineyard is not predetermined but is based entirely on how the best barrels mesh and interact when blended.
