Tasting Notes: This Oak Knoll Cabernet Sauvignon has a full fruit expression with refined structure and smooth texture. Aromas of dried cherries and plum open into a silky mouthfeel of red and black fruit flavors with a long, velvety finish.
Winemaking: After gently de-stemming the grapes, the must was fermented on the skins for up to two weeks, peaking at 85°F because warm temperature fermentation aids in extracting color and desirable tannins. The next step was pressing the fruit gently to avoid the overly drying tannins found in the seeds. After pressing, the wine was racked into oak barrels to age for several months prior to bottling.
Grape Sourcing: The Oak Knoll District (OKD) is located at the southern end of the Napa Valley. The growing season is longer due to cooler temperatures in the summer and slightly drier weather in the winter. Moderate temperatures and daily cool breezes from the nearby San Pablo Bay mean that the fruit can ripen slowly over time. The resulting wines develop a freshness and aromatic lift while maintaining a soft mouthfeel with balanced alcohol and acidity.
Winemaker: Alison Crowe
