Vintage Notes
2004 was a warm year which allowed us to hand harvest the late ripening Cabernet fruit from our Valley View Vineyard by mid October.
Fermentation Notes
With this vintage we returned to the practice of using small batch, open top fermenters and hand punching to mix the cap and the juice. Aging was carried out in French oak barrels, 20% of which were new.
