CABERNET SAUVIGNON CALIFORNIA 2015 Our 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of cherries, berries, cedar, brown sugar, and toast. Flavors of berries, toasted marshmallow, chocolate, and graham cracker follow with a toasty caramel finish. This medium-bodied wine pairs deliciously with grilled meats and tomato- based pasta dishes. VINTAGE The 2015 growing season started with a dry, mild winter and ramped up quickly from there. Similar conditions continued throughout the spring with the summer months warming up a bit, causing the grapes to fully ripen. The season ended just as it began, earlier than usual. After the two previous vintages delivered large crops, this one hit the reset button with lower-than-average yields. The result: wines with highly concentrated flavors and bright acidity. GROWING REGION The grapes for our Cabernet Sauvignon were harvested in the Lodi American Viticultural Area (AVA) surrounding our winery. One of the first recognized winegrowing appellations in California, here warm VARIETAL COMPOSITION 76% Cabernet Sauvignon days are tempered by cool breezes from the San Joaquin Delta, allowing 5% Ruby Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to reach full maturity, yielding a well-balanced, fruit-expressive 4% Petite Sirah wine, vintage after vintage. 4% Rubired 3% Tannat 3% Syrah WINEMAKING 5% other red varieties To achieve optimum flavor maturity and sugar-to-acid balance, the grapes were destemmed and gently crushed immediately after APPELLATION harvesting. We then fermented with a selected yeast strain at a California slightly warmer temperature for increased complexity of flavors. After fermentation, we allowed a portion of the wine to undergo extended TOTAL ACID: 5.6g/L maceration to increase richness and soften tannins. The wine was finally aged in French and American oak, adding a rich and toasty finish.
