This wine is made with the utmost care – only one single barrel. 22 cases made. I crafted this by making my most exquisite blend, and put it in to my favorite barrel of the vintage. It aged for an additional 6 months for to complete two years in barrel. All the fruit from this cuvee is from a single block of the historic Eola Springs Vineyard, planted in 2003. It is in a north facing pocket of this site, which provides a cool break from the high afternoon heat, leaving brilliant acid. The Carol Ann Cuvee can only be made in the very best years – when the wine is able to shine as brightly as Carol does.
This wine saw 24 months in barrel fermented and left on the lees the entire time. Native Ferments, limited SO2 additions, un-fined and un-filtered.
