If one of the marks of a grand cru vineyard is consistency, then Palisades Vineyard surely checks the box.  Under the meticulous farming of Jim Munk, year in and year out, the old vines of Palisades Vineyard crank out one winner after the next.  Our 2019 is no exception.  Picked September 30th at 26.9 Brix, the fully destemmed fruit was cold-soaked for 5 days before inoculation for fermentation.  Although dry by October 15th, the wine remained on the skins for another month to create a softer mouthfeel.  Pressed to all French oak, 25% new, and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
