The 2018 growing season began cooler than usual for Sonoma County, leading to longer bloom time for grapevines. Moderate summer temperatures with fewer heat spikes than previous vintages allowed for a relaxed pace, excellent development of flavors and retention of natural acidity. After being harvested by hand, the cabernet sauvignon grapes were gently destemmed, fermented and aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.
