Interesting as there are plenty of other California cabs that the winemakers are able to keep the alcohol levels down on.
What was the brix when this was picked?
Roughly 24.2 between the lots but we don’t water down or de-alc the wine either.
The wine was fermented and bottled here in California. Ownership prefers to live in Texas.
Way better on taxes to be incorporated in Texas as well.

Thanks for dropping in.
Can you discuss your maceration time and fermentation practice as well?

The lots for this Cabernet were cold soaked prior to fermentation for 2 days. The fermentation started with indigenous yeast and ar finished them with a commercial strain of byannus. No extended maceration was practiced. Cooperage wad 100% French oak of which 40% wad new. Time in barrel was approximamonths 26 months.

One last question, and apologies if I missed this in the thread or notes, but the website is a bit spartan. It appears you blended from separate lots, do you have notes on the percentages of each used.
Thanks for checking in, this is what makes this place special for us.

Hope there is still some left…
Clearly this isn’t going to last.
Still hoping for the blending notes.

Not sure what that sentence actually says, but he wants low alcohol because it increases age-ability, which is a great thing in a cab.
