Planted in 1997 on Garey Series loam, clay loam over gravel. Destemmed to 2-5 ton open-top fermenters. Native fermentation begins after 4-5 days. Gently extracted using punch down and pumpovers. Pressed to tank and quickly settled before barreling down to 30% new French oak. Raised for 12-14 months, racked and blended, then returned to barrel for a few months before bottling
