2015 Bonny's Vineyard Cabernet Magnum
Vineyard Designation
Bonny's Vineyard
Vineyard Notes
After three summers of drought, the vines woke up extra early in the spring of 2015. Luckily, frost was not an issue, but cool bloom time temperatures led to light set and a small crop throughout California. 2015 was our warmest vintage since 2007 exuberantly expressed in the richness of the fruit’s character. Harvest started a week earlier than normal and then temperatures cooled as harvest rolled along allowing us to pick leisurely.
Winemaker Notes
The Cabernet fruit was hand-picked into macro bins, then sorted and de-stemmed and crushed into a stainless steel tank. Cold soaking was carried out over 24 hours, and the must was inoculated and pumped over one to three times per day depending on the stage of fermentation, then pressed before finishing primary fermentation. Once dry, the wine was racked to barrel and inoculated for malolactic fermentation. It was racked again at the conclusion of secondary fermentation and twice more before bottling. Though it was filtered, owing to its time in barrel, fining was not necessary.
