The Wonderland Project No.9 Cabernet Sauvignon 750ML

Black Cherry • Cocoa • Baking Spice Vineyard: On a west-facing slope, above the fog line, on the northern ridge of the Atlas Peak AVA, we farm Cabernet Sauvignon clones 412, 4, 8, and 337C planted mostly to rootstocks 3309C and 1103P. The soils here, Hambright and Guenoc, are dominated by red volcanic material with lots of flat rock, providing exceptional drainage to the hillside vineyard. Vintage: A warm winter with below-average rainfall and a cool start to spring kept the vines dormant late into March. Spring remained cool and brought moderate amounts of rain all the way to Memorial Day, keeping shoot growth fairly slow until early June. Mild summer weather contributed to slow fruit development until warmer August temperatures prevailed, pushing grapes to maturity quickly. Cellar: Harvest began on September 15th 2022. The grapes were fully destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks for up to 29 days. After pressing, the wine was aged in 70% neutral and 30% new Fren
