Yields in 2021 were below average for our old-vine block at Palisades, coming in at approximately 2.25 tons to the acre.  Picked September 11th, the must was cold soaked for 6 days before inoculation for fermentation.  Two weeks later the wine was dry and the tank was sealed for extended maceration.  But in this vintage, we found the wine had the right tannin balance after only another six days on the skins.  Hence, it was pressed after a total of 25 days in tank to all French oak, 25% new.  Bottled unfined and unfiltered
