Each individual vineyard lot was kept separate during vinification and aging so that Ed could track the development of their aromas, flavors and tannins, thus maximizing his flexibility to focus their best attributes when blending. As they were fermenting, Ed tailored the maceration and gentle pump-over regimes for each lot to get optimal extraction. He hand-selected new thin-staved French oak (Nevers) barrels to match the wines. “My choice of barrels is as important as any other decision I make,” Ed explains. “For our cabs, I prefer oak from the Nevers forest because it provides everything I’m looking for while still maintaining a framework that is subtle.” The wines were aged for almost 23 months, and Ed tasted them regularly to monitor their development.
