Description
Varietal Composition: A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. This combination leverages the robust structure and berry flavors of Cabernet Sauvignon with the floral and spicy notes of Cabernet Franc, creating a complex and balanced wine.
Vinification: Grapes are meticulously selected from the vineyards to ensure only the highest quality fruit is used. The winemaking process often involves fermentation in stainless steel to maintain the pure fruit flavors, followed by extended aging in oak barrels. This barrel aging can last several years, depending on the winery’s style, to develop depth, integrate tannins, and add layers of vanilla, toast, and spice.
Alcohol: Typically ranges from 13.5% to 15% vol., depending on the vintage and winemaker’s style.
