It opens with aromas of black currant, cherry, and green peppercorn. An abundance of cherry and currant, accented by attractive French oak, results in a full lingering finish. *Siver Medal, 2008 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. Production: 895 Cases The cooler York Mountain climate produces very distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, which are characterized by having a deep color profile and naturally high acidity levels. This allows us to balance a wine through blending, not artificial acidulations. The Petit Verdot from the Denner Vineyards provides a perfect compliment of dark fruit and structure. The grapes were hand picked in the vineyard and then hand sorted in the winery. They were de]stemmed and crushed, then fermentation as initiated. Pump]over and punch]down routines began thereafter and at the end of maceration, the free run wine was carefully separated from the press wine. Each lot is fermented and aged separately until final blending. The 2004 York Mountain was aged in new French and Hungarian oak barrels as well as once filled French oak.
