The grapes used to produce our 2006 Shannon Ridge Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon were harvested from our Familys vineyards in the High Valley appellation in Lake County, California. The grapes were picked at the peek of ripeness at 26 Brix. The grapes were put through an early press with a slow extraction of color and tannins from the skins as well as 100% malolactic fermentation in French oak
