Pedregal Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

"As usual, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Pedregal Vineyard is a fabulous effort...The 2010 boasts beautiful notes of fruitcake, espresso roast, chocolate and black currants in its complex, full-bodied, concentrated, multi-dimensional personality..."
- Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate,

Aging on fine lees incorporates the oak so that the two years or more that the Pedregal spends in 100% new French barrels is barely noticeable. As with all of our wines, it goes through native yeast and malolactic fermentations with monthly bâtonnage to develop depth and roundness on the palette. This wine combines the harmony produced by traditional Bordelaise winemaking techniques with the voluptuousness of Napa Valley terroir. It is lightly fined with egg whites for greater suppleness and bottled without filtration.
