Mother Nature gifted us a picture perfect growing season starting with sufficient rains in the winter, mild spring temperatures and a summer filled with sunshine. After a turbulent 2017, patience was crucial this year with the last of our fruit hanging strong until the first week of November. This vintage was the winemaker’s dream: a long, slow-paced harvest with incredible yields and exceptional quality. Winemaking The grapes were harvested throughout the month of October. All fermentations were conducted in small, two ton fermenters filled by gravity. A 48-hour cold soak period preceded a warm fermentation peaking at 90°F. The fermenters were punched 3 to 4 times a day during the fermentation period. After fermentation was complete, the grapes were kept in contact with the wine for a variable number of days lengthening the finish to extract the best phenolic structure from the fruit and avoid the harsher, late-extracted tannins. Sensory Profile Deep blackberry cassis and dark chocolate provide the underlying muscle while spicy cedar, cherry, earth and spice nuances dance above. A rich, broad wine showing off its soft fleshy tannins, great texture and long lingering flavors. Showing well at release but will age gracefully over the next decade\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Porter Family Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43886315077856,"sku":"115464","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/porter-family-vineyards-cabernet-sauvignon_1.jpg?v=1677260873","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/porter-family-vineyards-cabernet-sauvignon-2018-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
