Production Notes:
Our Cabernet Franc grapes are handpicked by our winemaker Scott Ballew at brix and ripeness specifications. They are delivered by the ton to Strey Cellars in whole clusters, then crushed and destemmed immediately onsite. During fermentation, the wine is temperature controlled at 54 degrees as it sits on skins for two weeks for maximum color extraction. It is then barrel aged for at least 18 months. It is then filtered to one micron before bottling for clarity and bottled as a single varietal.
