The grapes were picked by hand in two lots in October 1999 and fermented
in stainless steel tanks. When fermentation was complete, the wine
was pressed off the skins and barreled down to 28 oak barrels for
malolactic fermentation and 10 months of barrel aging.
504 cases were bottled in August 2000, and the wine was released
in March 2002. The retail price is $24/bottle.
