Sanctuary Cabernet Rutherford Napa (2017)

WINEMAKING

Our Cabernet was fermented in tank and kept in contact with the skins for 25-28 days, after which the skins were pressed off in a basket press and the hard press kept separate. After 100% malolactic fermentation was completed, the wine was aged in French barrels (72% new) for 13 months before bottling.
