Fun Facts: This wine is farmed from an old vine organic site in St. Helena by the Silverado Farming Company. The dry-farming process produces fruit with excellent balance and intensity. Grapes were picked at first light during a cold foggy morning. They pressed whole clusters slowly to extract the free run juice without breaking the stems. The juice settled in tanks for 24 hours prior to being transferred to 35% new French oak and 50% cigar shape barrels to cold ferment for 6-8 weeks, then aged for 19 months with very little intervention, racking only once prior to bottling.
