FISSION CABERNET SAUVIGNON
2020 Fission is a pure mountain wine, with a dark depth of fruit chiseled by the cool elevation of its two vineyard sites. A wine of texture, with the intensity and sappy concentration we associate with old vines, it builds into powerful tannins that remain refined, almost cloaked by the seductiveness of the fruit and the gently building structure. The name Fission was ultimately chosen to reference the textural and mineral characteristics that the unique volcanic soil brings to this wine. WINEMAKING 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, destemmed trying to keep whole berries, with very gentle pressing. Open top, native yeast fermentation with minimal punchdowns and pumpovers; never racked until blending before bottling. Aged 12 months 27% new oak, remainder 1, 2 and 3-year-old barrels Alcohol 14.0%
