We work very closely with a trusted group of growers here in Palisade, and they continually provide us with high-quality fruit. With Cabernet as a varietal, we always look for austerity and restraint. This wine was destemmed, crushed and vinted over the course of three weeks, with two weeks of maceration time. After pressing, we transferred to oak barrels for aging and controlled oxidation to produce smooth tannins.
