Winemaking This fruit was hand-harvested, brought to the winery within hours of being picked, and then hand sorted three times before going through the optical sorter for maximum quality. After a cold soak for four days with minimal air to start the extraction, native yeasts were incorporated to carry out the fermentation process. During the 14 - 24 day fermentation period, air and temperature were controlled lot by lot to find the sweet spot between bold extraction for character and a silky texture for elegance. The wine went through full malolactic fermentation in barrel and was aged on the lees for 22 months. Bottled unfined, unfiltered and un-acidified.

The Story
Consisting of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from two unique vineyard sites within Alexander Valley, the different elevations, soil types and microclimates within each property make for one stunning and multifaceted Cabernet Sauvignon. The majority of this fruit comes from a special property called "Battle Family Vineyard" which sits at the very top of Chalk Hill Road overlooking the entire Alexander Valley. We source from four different blocks that each add their own personality and complexity to the wine. As a 100% varietal similar to our Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is sourced from cooler vineyard sites which gives it a bright acidity accentuating the tannins and formulates a beautiful texture throughout the palate.
