Given the wonderfully even ripening of the fruit, extraction was extended well past dryness to maximize and soften the tannins. Primary and malolactic fermentations utilized native yeast and bacteria, respectively, as is the hallmark of all estate wines at Chalk Hill. The wine was racked quarterly and aged for twen Minimize
