CRAFTWORK ESTATE VINEYARDS CABERNET 2020

Style: Bold & Powerful

The wines of Craftwork are crafted from estate grown grapes from our vineyards in Monterey County, located in California¿s golden Central Coast. The Monterey County growing region is a wonder, with a myriad of soils, elevations and microclimates that allow us to grow an array of varieties. The indelible influence of the Monterey Bay and the enormous submarine canyon that lies two miles below its surface results in cool coastal conditions throughout our growing region. Each variety they grow is planted in the location that is most suitable for that grape and where we believe it can reach its full flavor potential.

Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are destemmed, crushed, and fermented in small lots in open top fermenters. Next the firm cap of skins and seeds that bubble up and form on the surface during red fermentation is gently "punched down" several times a day. Punching down is a traditional method that gives the skins as much contact with the fermenting wine as possible, allowing the color and the phenols from the skins to be transferred to the wine. After a 10-day fermentation in stainless tanks, the wine is aged with a combination of French and American oak to round out and soften the rich, black fruit flavors.
