The wine was pressed off the skins at dryness and allowed to settle in a stainless steel tank. It was racked to 60 gallon French and American oak barrels to finish malolactic fermentation. This wine has been barrel aged for 28 months..

Varietal Definition
Cabernet Severny:
Hybrid red wine variety created in Russia to withstand harsh cold climatic conditions. Small acreages currently grown in Canada.
|
Cabernet Sauvignon:
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted and significant among the five dominant varieties in France’s Bordeaux region, as well as the most successful red wine produced in California. Though it was thought to be an ancient variety, recent genetic studies at U.C. Davis have determined that Cabernet Sauvignon is actually the hybrid offspring of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Cabernet Sauvignon berries are small with black, thick and very tough skin. This toughness makes the grapes fairly resistant to disease and spoilage and able to withstand some autumn rains with little or no damage. It is a mid to late season ripener. These growth characteristics, along with its flavor appeal have made Cabernet Sauvignon one of the most popular red wine varieties worldwide.
