<p>Curtis Vineyard is located in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley along Foxen Canyon Road and is situated on a small plateau. The warmer climate allows for the superior ripening of Bordeaux and Rhone varietals, but still allows them to retain their acidity, due to extreme diurnal temperature shifts..</p><p>No punch-downs were performed and only gentle pour-overs were practiced for cap management in order to encourage carbonic maceration character in the whole clusters. After fermentation, the wine was basket pressed and aged in neutral French oak barrels. Minimal sulfur was added for stability before bottling without fining or filtration. Only 72 cases produced</p>
