Production Notes:

The 2005 growing season was long and cool, allowing for the slow development of flavor and complexity and resulting in beautiful fruit with balance and elegance. After hand-harvesting, the bunches were de-stemmed and allowed to cold soak for 5 days. The grapes were then inoculated with Assmanshausen yeast and fermented in stainless steel before being racked to a mix of new and used French oak barrels for aging.
