| Description: | Growing Season:. ■ The 2015 vintage was one of the warmest growing seasons on record. in Washington. ■ Warm temperatures continued through the spring and summer, moderating slightly into fall and extending an early harvest. ■ Overall, 2015 saw very favorable growing conditions, producing optimal ripening across varieties and yielding outstanding wines throughout the region. Vineyards:. ■ The Horse Heaven Hills vineyards are located in Eastern Washington. This region is mostly dry with less precipitation due to the rain shadow effect from the surrounding Cascade Mountain range. ■ The terrain consists of south-facing slopes that provide excellent sun exposure for grape ripening, and protection from cold airflow during the winter months. ■ Strong wind patterns in the Horse Heaven Hills reduce canopy size and density and contribute to even ripening by moderating temperature extremes. Vinification:. ■ Grapes were crushed and then fermented 6-10 days on the skins. ■ Malolactic fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels. Blending occurred immediately after fermentation. ■ The majority of the wine (88%) aged for 9 months in a combination of new and older French and American oak barrels, while a small percentage of the wine (12%) aged in stainless steel tanks. Tasting Notes:. This bold Cabernet opens with flavors of black cherries and blackberries with a touch of currants and vanilla, complemented by earth and mineral notes. Deep berry flavors lead to a soft tannin cocoa finish. ~ Juan Muñoz Oca, Winemaker. Blend:. 77% Cabernet. 21 % Merlot. 2% Syrah. Alcohol: 14.5%. Total Acidity: 0.54 g/100ml. pH: 3.78 |
