The long season allows for the grapes to fully develop subtle flavors not usually found in this varietal in California. Fermentation: After being handpicked, these grapes were hand-sorted at the winery, then gently crushed and fermented in a small stainless steel fermentor. It was pumped over twice daily and gently pressed; leaving any possible bitter tannis behind. Aging: After the primary fermentation, the wine was allowed to undergo Malolactic fermentation in barrel, which was then aged for 18 months. Description: With a velvety red color, this wine shows spicy black pepper and plum aromas with integrated oak leading to subtle blackberry and coffee flavors and medium plus tannins. </td> <td width="15"> </td> <td width="85"> </td> </tr> </table> Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Category15" TITLE="Wine">Wine</A> / <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Category5" TITLE="Limited Release Wines">Limited Release Wines</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product253 TITLE="2006 Small Lot Grenache">2006 Small Lot Grenache</A> -- 2006 Small Lot Grenache <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product213 TITLE="2006 Small Lot Pinot Noir~Wine Club Exclusive">2006 Small Lot Pinot Noir~Wine Club Exclusive</A> -- 2006 Small Lot Pinot Noir~Wine Club Exclusive <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product271 TITLE="2006 Small Lot Sonata~Wine Club Exclusive">2006 Small Lot Sonata~Wine Club Exclusive</A> -- 2006 Small Lot Sonata ~ Wine Club Exclusive <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product226 TITLE="2006 Small Lot Syrah">2006 Small Lot Syrah</A> -- 2006 Small Lot Syrah <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product309 TITLE="2007 Small Lot Grenache">2007 Small Lot Grenache</A> -- 2007 Small Lot Grenache <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product301 TITLE="2007 Small Lot Pinot Noir Rose">2007 Small Lot Pinot Noir Rose</A> -- 2007 Small Lot Pinot Noir Rose <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product289 TITLE="2007 Small Lot Syrenity ~Wine Club Exclusive">2007 Small Lot Syrenity ~Wine Club Exclusive</A> -- 2007 Small Lot Syrenity <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product305 TITLE="2007 Petite Sirah Port">2007 Petite Sirah Port</A> -- 2007 Petite Sirah Port ~ Club Wente Wine Exclusive <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product303 TITLE="2006 Small Lot Eric's Chardonnay">2006 Small Lot Eric's Chardonnay</A> -- 2006 Small Lot Eric's Chardonnay <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product250 TITLE="2005 Small Lot Chardonnay">2005 Small Lot Chardonnay</A> -- 2005 Small Lot Chardonnay <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product248 TITLE="2005 Small Lot Petit Verdot">2005 Small Lot Petit Verdot</A> -- 2005 Small Lot Petit Verdot~ <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product247 TITLE="2005 Small Lot Petite Sirah">2005 Small Lot Petite Sirah</A> -- 2005 Small Lot Petite Sirah~ <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product270 TITLE="2005 Small Lot Pinot Blanc">2005 Small Lot Pinot Blanc</A> -- 2005 Small Lot Pinot Blanc <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product224 TITLE="2006 Small Lot Cabernet Franc">2006 Small Lot Cabernet Franc</A> -- 2006 Small Lot Cabernet Franc <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product300 TITLE="2006 Small Lot Duetto~Wine Club Exclusive">2006 Small Lot Duetto~Wine Club Exclusive</A> -- 2006 Small Lot Duetto <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product307 TITLE="2006 Small Lot Livermore Cabernet Sauvignon">2006 Small Lot Livermore Cabernet Sauvignon</A> -- 2006 Small Lot Napa Cabernet <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product306 TITLE="2006 Small Lot Napa Cabernet">2006 Small Lot Napa Cabernet</A> -- 2006 Small Lot Napa Cabernet <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product291 TITLE="2006 Small Lot Orange Muscat">2006 Small Lot Orange Muscat</A> -- 2006 Small Lot Orange Muscat <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product298 TITLE="2006 Small Lot Petite Sirah">2006 Small Lot Petite Sirah</A> -- 2006 Small Lot Petite Sirah~ <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/wente/Product287 TITLE="2006 Small Lot Pinot Noir Rose">2006 Small Lot Pinot Noir Rose</A> -- 2006 Small Lot Pinot Noir Rose <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/wente" TITLE="Wente Vineyards Products">Wente Vineyards Products</A> <A HREF="http://www.wentevineyards.com">Wente Vineyards</A> Wente Vineyards <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
