Subtle sweetness and bright acidity marry seamlessly, creating a balanced, refreshing finish.&#8221;-<em>Ray Einberger, Winemaker</em> </p> <p><b>Growing Season</b> </p> <ul> <li>The mild winter allowed the vines to remain in good shape throughout the cold months.</li> <li>In May, one to two weeks before bloom, temperatures spiked to 100 degrees for about a week.</li> <li>The heat spike led to a smaller canopy which allowed for more light penetration, and contributed to good flavor development in the fruit. The hot temperatures also contributed to smaller berries with concentrated flavors.</li> <li>During fruit set the weather conditions were favorable and the summer saw mild to average temperatures.</li> <li>Veraison started 10 days ahead of average.</li> <li>At the beginning of harvest, temperatures were moderate, and weather was ideal for harvest. <br /></li> </ul> <p><b>Vineyards</b> </p> <ul> <li>Washington state&#8217;s Columbia Valley vineyards are seated east of the Cascade Mountain range. Up to 14,000 feet high, the mountains effectively block eastward-moving wet weather systems from the Pacific Ocean.</li> <li>Just six to eight inches of rainfall reach the growing region annually. Vineyards are 100% drip irrigation.</li> <li>The soils have low fertility and low water-holding capacity, allowing precise control of vine growth patterns.</li> <li>Vines are planted north to south on south and southeast facing slopes.<br /></li> </ul> <p><b>Vinification</b> </p> <ul> <li>Juice cold-settled then fermented for 20-30 days in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks.</li> <li>Cool temperatures were maintained throughout fermentation to enhance the variety&#8217;s fresh, spicy appeal.<br /></li> </ul> <p><b>Technical Data</b> </p> <ul> <li>Total acidity: 0.703 g/100ml</li> <li>pH: 2.98</li> <li>Alcohol: 11.5%</li> <li>Sugar: 2.83g/100ml</li> </ul> </p> <p> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"> <li>SKU: 19381</li> </ul> </p> <p><b>Other products in the category <a href="http://store.columbiacrest.com/Category3" title="Two Vines">Two Vines</a>:</b> <br clear="left"><br /><ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.columbiacrest.com/Product121" title="2007 Two Vines Cabernet Sauvignon">2007 Two Vines Cabernet Sauvignon</a> -- "...offers aromas and flavors red berries.
