With stainless steel fermentation, French oak aging in a mix of large and small barrels, and very limited malolactic fermentation, the result is the best of both worlds. If you like the idea of crisp Burgundian complexity balanced with the brightness of New World fruit, look no further. <br><br> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;"> Tasting Notes:</span><br> A blast of banana lends a tropical side to green apple, lime and chalky minerals, laced with the subtle spice and vanilla influence of French oak. A touch of grapefruit and white pepper emerge in the delightfully long and dry finish. The structure and balance make for an elegant and extremely versatile food-pairing wine <br><br> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Technical notes:</span><br> <table style=border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Appellation:</td> <td><a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Arroyo-Seco.html" target=_new>Arroyo Seco, Monterey</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Release Date:</td> <td> September 1st, 2006</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Winemaker:</td> <td> Sam Baxter</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Harvest:</td> <td>October 20th, 2005</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Brix:</td> <td>25.5&#176;</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Fermentation:</td> <td> Stainless steel fermented, aged sur lees for 6 months in French oak &#8211; 50% new barriques, 50% two-year puncheons </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Production:<br> </td> <td> 683 cases<br> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <br> </div> <br> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/?category=5" style="text-decoration: none; color: #a60000; font-weight: bold;" target=_top> Return to Cobblestone Wine List</a> </P> <P> <LI>Please Note: <b>Case Discount: 10%</b> </P> <P><B>Other products in the winery <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Category5" TITLE="Cobblestone">Cobblestone</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product29 TITLE="Cobblestone 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/flatiron/images/Cobblestone-Cabernet-02[th].jpg" ALIGN=left ALT="Cobblestone 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon" NAME="Cobblestone 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product29 TITLE="Cobblestone 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon">Cobblestone 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon</A> -- Atlas Peak, Napa Valley <BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product31 TITLE="Cobblestone 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/flatiron/images/Cobblestone-Cabernet-03[th].jpg" ALIGN=left ALT="Cobblestone 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon" NAME="Cobblestone 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product31 TITLE="Cobblestone 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon">Cobblestone 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon</A> -- <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Atlas-Peak.html" target=_new>Atlas Peak, Napa Valley</a> </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron" TITLE="Appellation America Products">Appellation America Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://wine.appellationamerica.com">Appellation America</A> <BR>Appellation America <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
