2017 White Pine Cabernet Franc - Sophie's Vineyard
Winemaking Data
Fruit from our estate – grown Cabernet Franc was used to create this delicious wine. Hand-harvested fruit was destemmed and crushed to 1/2 ton fermenters where it was inoculated with several yeast strains. The caps were plunged only once daily to extract soft tannins from skins and seeds. ML completed in primary fermenters. The finished musts were pressed to tanks then racked to French oak barrels where they aged for 12 months. 30% new Seguin Moreau barrels were used for this wine which lend beautiful harmony and balance.
