L ECOLE CABERNET SAUVIGNON COLUMBIA VALLEY

40 years of meticulous vineyard management and winemaking experience are fundamental to the quality of our wines and reputation for excellence. Each lot was hand-harvested at ideal ripeness and gently crushed into 1.5 and 5-ton steel fermenters. Gentle handling of the fruit through hand punch downs and gravity-assisted movements was utilized throughout the entire winemaking process. The wine was cleanly racked to small oak barrels, 20% new, and barrel aged for 22 months.
