Vineyard Notes
The The 2019 winter brought extremes: warm January days
of 12°C to lows of - 22°C and lots of snow in February. Bud
burst was two weeks later than average due to the long
winter. The beginning of Okanagan spring was one of the
driest on record. By the end of June, the Okanagan Valley
saw a cooling trend that lasted through most of July. At the
end of July, the real Okanagan summer started with hot
sunny days and little precipitation. September was wetter
than usual. October was dry with 15°C days and 2°C to 6°C
nights. The weather was perfect to hang the fruit until the
end of October, with all the remaining vineyards achieving
the right amount of flavour, sugar, and acid. No Floods. No
Smoke. Overall, it was a low tonnage year with excellent ripe
fruit across all varietals in our vineyards.
Winemaker Notes
This Monster is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet
Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. The grapes were
hand picked and sorted in the vineyard. The berries were
then crushed & held cold for three days. During fermentation,
a combination of hand plunging the must and judicious use of
pumping over ensured the optimum level of tannin
extraction.
