Grapes for our Estate Five Sisters Blend Cabernet Sauvignon were cool fermented in temperature-controlled, open-topped fermentation tanks and gently punched down by hand. This time-consuming, low-impact processing optimizes fruit extraction and limits harsh tannins. The wine is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, 7% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec. All of the components of this wine were fermented and barrel-aged separately for 20 months in French oak barrels, then combined to create our Five Sisters Blend.
