The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic example of full-bodied, big red wines produced from grapes grown on the Wahluke Slope. Our 2019 vintage features coffee, black cherry and blackberry aromas followed by ripe, velvety fruit flavours, silky tannins and a warm, lingering finish.
The wine was crafted over thirty-two months.
Technical Stuff
- 2019 was a typical season on the Wahluke Slope; however, September rains pushed the harvest out to October 15, a month later than expected
- Pre-harvest testing revealed fruit to be roughly 26 degrees Brix (sugar content)
- During harvest, the club grapes were packed in 600 pound cardboard totes and shipped to Fort Langley via refrigerated trucking
- After a cold soak of 72 hours, yeast fermentation was initiated and concluded over 10 days
- Malo-lactic fermentation was induced and progressed over a period three months, after which the wine was transferred to new and neutral oak barrels, where it remained for 27 months
- Bottling took place on April 14, 2022
- Due to ongoing supply chain issues, wax was used to seal the bottle tops instead of tin capsules
- 15.7% alc./vol.
