Winemaker Notes:
"Our goal is to highlight the special characters of Alexander Valley Cabernet while showcasing the distinct benefits and attributes associated with this magnificent vineyard. The Cabernet Sauvignon was handpicked October 8, 2016 at 25.5 degrees brix. The grapes were fermented 10 days to dryness and then macerated an additional twenty-one days to soften and develop the tannins. Following pressing 90% of the wine was moved to 60 gallon French Oak barrels where it received three gentle barrel to barrel rackings. This vintage was barrel aged for twenty-two months prior to bottling. Optima is handcrafted, utilizing the best possible resources available. The result is an exceptional example of richness and balance that are the hallmarks of this world-renowned."
