Winter leading up to the 2022\u003cbr\u003eseason at our Oak Knoll estate vineyard was mild, with enough\u003cbr\u003emoisture to build nutrient storage and assure healthy initial canopy growth. Warm, but not overly hot weather prevailed through harvest, allowing us to circumvent any danger of frost, and assuring an even ripening pattern. Final maturation was homogenous across the entire vineyard, enabling us to complete harvest in a single day on October 16 th . Overall yield was slightly above average, the fruit was pristine, with an ideal skin-to-juice ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaker Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit arrived cold during the early morning hours and was\u003cbr\u003eoptically sorted after gentle destemming. A slightly elevated (80\u003cbr\u003edeg. F) peak fermentation temperature and judicious management of the maceration using well-timed pumpovers provided an environment in which we could extract tannins of the highest possible quality. The 2022 Steady State is 100% Cabernet\u003cbr\u003eSauvignon and was aged in small French oak barrels (50% new).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-tasting-notes mt-5\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 Steady State Cabernet Sauvignon is dark ruby, with an\u003cbr\u003eenhanced violet hue. Dominant inviting aromas of ripe blackberry\u003cbr\u003eand boysenberry are very focused, with notes of rose and black tea in the background. On the palate, the wine has superb tension, as pomegranate, graphite and cherry emerge, grounded through the finish with a firm textural core that is refined, complex and nuanced. A top note that is equally fresh and savory further complements the flavors already present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Grounded Wine Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45015039443168,"sku":"121952","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/grounded-wine-co-steady-state_1.jpg?v=1711051708","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/grounded-wine-co-steady-state-2021-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
