• Estate Eidolon Vineyard, ‘Rocks District of Milton Freewater’, Walla Walla Valley
• Overall one of the warmest vintages on record.
• Bud break started in early-mid April with bloom in early June, between 1-2
weeks early than normal
• Warm summer temperatures continued to allow good ripening, with slightly
smaller berry size and thicker skins for deep rich flavors and tannins
• Cool September temperatures slowed down sugar accumulation allowing
for longer hangtime and complex flavor development
• Hand-harvested grapes
• Picked early in the morning
• Cross-flow filtration prior to bottling
• Small lot fermentations in stainless steel tanks
• The cap was manually punched down twice a day
• 28 days of extended maceration on the Cabernet Sauvignon
• The wine was blended and aged for 18 months in French Oak barrels
with 40% new
