Cornell – Cabernet Sauvignon – Estate Grown 2019

A winegrower is an interpreter, eager to assess the vineyard from all angles. Our process marries technical data with the nuanced clues unearthed by intuition. After testing for sugar and acid, we move to gauge the fruit’s ripeness on the fingertips, and to watch for the canopy’s change in hue. We learn to evaluate the chemistry at play in each berry, and to recognize the taste of raw, sun-warmed juice at its crescendo. No method is unexplored in the quest for transcendent wine.
