2012 Solena Merlot - Wooldridge Creek
This wine was hand-crafted to achieve a fully extracted and complex style. 10% whole clusters were used to enhance the spiciness of the wine. Cold maceration preceded fermentation, which was conducted in open-top tanks. The wine was allowed 22 days of skin contact and daily punchdowns before being gravity fed directly to barrels. 100% malolactic fermentation occurred during a 9 month period. The wine spent 16 months in French oak (20% new) from a variety of coopers. A small amount of Zinfandel was blended in to add some flavor complexity to the wine. It was bottled unfiltered and lightly fined.
