Though often used in blends to shore up softer, paler red wines, it has garnered a strong cult following for its dark character and magnificent ageability.&nbsp; </p> <p><font color="#800000"><strong>VINIFICATION</strong></font>: The grapes were cold soaked prior to fermentation and spent around 12 days on the skins. The wine spent 18 months in American and French oak before being bottled in May of 2008.&nbsp;</p> <div><font color="#800000"><strong>VINTAGE:</strong></font>The 2006 vintage was truly a year won in the vineyard. A heat spike that lasted a record 10 days in July had growers nervous about sunburn on the ripening grapes. Then came the rains, which sent us rushing to leaf the vines, allowing sunshine and air to reach the clusters. Botrytis was a threat for a time, especially to Chardonnay. But late October saw a change in the weather and a change in our expectations for the vintage. The rains stopped and the climate warmed, giving grapes the time on the vines needed to reach full maturation. Overall, it was a late harvest of excellent quality fruit.&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div><font face="Times Roman" color="#000000" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 120%; font-family: 'Times Roman'; "><font face="Times New Roman">Alcohol 14.6%, Total acidity .52, pH 3.86</font><p>&nbsp;</p> </span></font></div> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <div>&nbsp;</div> </P> <P> <LI>SKU: 623106 </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/benziger/Category1" TITLE="Imagery Estate Winery">Imagery Estate Winery</A> / <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/benziger/Category3" TITLE="Imagery Red Wines">Imagery Red Wines</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/benziger/Product658 TITLE="2005 Imagery Pallas Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma Valley (750ml)">2005 Imagery Pallas Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma Valley (750ml)</A> -- estate blend has structured flavors of dark cherry, with notes of cocoa, herbs, and sweet earth.
