It is rich, with a seeming sweetness from the cherry and berry fruit, and enough new French oak to complete the sophisticated presentation and allow it to age gracefully....<br /><br />...</span><span class="">The two clones from this vineyard were gently de-stemmed, cold soaked and fermented separately. Native yeast was used for 90% of the must while 10% of each lot was fermented with Assmanshausen and RC212 yeasts to assure the lots would finish dry when pressed and blended for barrel aging. The clones were aged separately in 70% new French oak for 10 months before final blending. We used barrels from four different French Coopers to maximize the complexity of the wine. The blended wine was barrel aged an additional 9 months before bottling for a total of 19 months in new French oak."<br /><br />~<i>Winemaker's notes</i><br /></span></P> <P> <LI>SKU: CAR115 </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://shop.orwines.com/Category1" TITLE="All Wines">All Wines</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.orwines.com/Product368 TITLE="720 Wine Cellars, Or'Deaux Oregon Red Wine 2004">720 Wine Cellars, Or'Deaux Oregon Red Wine 2004</A> -- Judicious exposure to French oak barrels for 20 months gives this Bordeaux-styled wine some serious structure and age potential.
