| Wine maker notes |
| To blend the NV8 Cain Cuvée, we drew on fruit from the Cain Vineyard, others on Spring Mountain, Diamond Mountain, and especially from the Oakville and Rutherford Benches and the Conn Creek area, along the Silverado Trail. Naturally, we handle the fruit and the wine gently and are judicious in our use of new oak. The wine was bottled in the spring of 2000 after slightly over a year in the barrel, then aged for another year in the bottle. As we write this (January 2001) after twelve vintages of Cain Cuvée, we have found them all to age gracefully. While we like to drink them young, all of them-even 12 years old- are still drinking well. |
