The vineyards enjoyed idyllic growing conditions with consistent weather and milder temperatures in 2018. The beginning of the year was notably dry; however, well-timed rainfall just before budbreak provided the necessary water for canopy development. Flawless conditions ensued during flowering and fruit set which led to higher-than-average yields. While the season got off to a later start, veraison occurred only seven days later than the average which gave the fruit the necessary time to ripen perfectly.

The grapes for this Appellation Series Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakvillee were hand harvested then fermented in open top fermenters and aged in 50% new French oak barrels for 24 months before being bottled unfiltered.
