Description

The Herdsman is the culmination of Matchbook's quest to create premium Cabernet Sauvignon from the Dunnigan Hills. The primary source for the 2020 was the Disney Silverado and Niebaum-Coppola heritage clones planted in Pheasant Farm vineyard. All were picked separately at night, gently crushed within 30 minutes of harvest, and sent to temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for fermentation . Roughly half the blend was aged in new 60 hectoliter Foudrerie Francois ovals to slowly integrate the inherent fruit flavors with just a soft touch of oak and barrel spice.
