CHICK MAGNET Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 T-Shirt

CHICK MAGNET Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 This is a smooth, silky blend of two Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, Clone 337 and Clone 4 for from Lockwood Oaks in Paso Robles. These wines were produced separately and blended just prior to bottling after careful tasting to determine the optimum combination needed to make the finest possible wine. Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were picked at a Brix of 25-26% with pH 3.6 and TA at 0.8%. After a 48 hour cold soak at 64 degrees, the wine was fermented slowly over the next 10 days using BDX yeast (malolactic culture was added at a Brix of 11) down to a Brix of 0%. The wine was then pressed and stored in an underground cellar at 59 degrees in medium toast French oak barrels for 22 months. This complex wine has a beautiful ruby colour, a bold nose of anise, blackberries, and currants, with a long finish, moderate oak and well integrated tannins.
