Tasting Notes:

On the palate, the wine displays excellent structure and balance. Ripe black fruits dominate the palate, providing a burst of flavors reminiscent of blackberries, dark cherries, and plums. The wine’s firm tannins lend a pleasing grip, contributing to its age-worthiness. Notes of dark chocolate, toasted oak, and a hint of baking spices add layers of complexity and sophistication to the wine’s profile. The acidity is vibrant, offering freshness and ensuring a long, elegant finish.

Grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and hand-sorted. Cold soak lasts for 3–5 days, followed by a 14 day fermentation with three daily pump-overs during the peak of fermentation with an additional 12 days of extended maceration to optimize the flavor, mouthfeel, and tannin structure of the wine. Once drained and pressed the wine is transferred to French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and ageing. Aging lasts for 22 months in 100% French oak (40% new).

Blend: 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot

About Thread Feathers

Simply put, we source and produce high end wines, and provide them for a fraction of the cost.

With 15 years in all aspects of the wine industry, I have created exclusive agreements with wine producers throughout California, Oregon and Washington. Through these networks, I’am able source small lots of high end wines and offer them to you for a reasonable price. I try to focus on delivering sub AVA wines at an incredible value. Typically bottlings are around 100 to 500 cases, and once there gone, they are gone.
