Drew Horton is our winemaker. He shares our wish in allowing the grapes to undergo the magical process of fermentation with as minimal interventions as possible. He has worked for a decade in the wine cellars of three established wineries in the Santa Ynez Valley and lives on our Estate. He observes the evolution of our vines and makes careful recommendations. We all agree that the start of the winemaking process begins in the vineyards. |
The 2005 V3 wine is blended with 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. The wine is rich and strong, extracted and ripe. Concentrated aromas and flavors of black cherry, cassis, mocha, and cedar predominate whilst on the palate a full-bodied leap into luscious and intense Cabernet based blend, well structured with natural acidity and firm tannins. |
