<p>THE PALLAS STORY: Favorite daughter of the Greek God, Zeus, Pallas Athena or simply, Pallas is known as the goddess of wisdom. Because of this gift she was charged with overseeing practical arts which included agriculture and winemaking. On the hill of the Acropolis, the Athenians built a temple to Pallas – the Parthenon. The Parthenon, pictured prominently on the front label of this Demeter certified Biodynamic® estate wine and subtly in all Imagery Estate Artist Collection labels has an emotional connection to Imagery’s founders, the Benziger family. The model for this Parthenon is located on the Benziger ranch and is the family’s own temple to their 26 years as passionate winegrowers. </p>
<p>VINEYARD: Imagery Pallas Estate is made from a little over three acres of vineyard surrounding the winery in the heart of Sonoma Valley. Planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec the site produces wonderful fruit, ideal for Bordeaux blends. Our first estate wine, 2003 Pallas, is Biodynamically farmed which ensures a taste of terroir and environmental stewardship. </p>
<p>VINIFICATION: The fruit was fermented for 28 days in a pumpover tank. The wines were pressed at dryness and then placed in 100% French oak barrels (45% new oak) for 18 months. The final wine was blended and bottled in June of 2005. Alcohol 14.5%, Total Acidity .59, pH 3.67. </p>
