VARIETY Cabernet Sauvignon
LOCATION Walnut Grove, Arizona
VINEYARD Hassayampa Vineyard and Farm
VINIFICATION The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were hand picked with the help of friends and transported to Bodega Pierce in Clarkdale, Arizona for vinification. The grapes were destemmed and fermented with native yeasts on the skins for 10 days with several punch downs a day before being pressed to 3 neutral french oak barrels. The wine finished fermenting in barrel and was aged sur lie for 10 months with no bâtonnage. Racked once before bottling. Unfined, unfiltered with 20 PPM of added SO2.
EXPRESSION Nose pops with forest floor, cocoa powder, fresh red cherries, blackberry jam, and a hint of eucalyptus coolness. On the tongue, it’s juicy and tart, like ripe berries with a zippy black pepper edge, finishing crisp and easy. Perfect for glou-glou sessions straight from the fridge, no boomer heaviness here.
