The grapes were handpicked at night to preserve the fruit character. The grapes were hand-sorted twice on a belt system and gently destemmed. Each lot was cold soaked for a minimum of five days to maximize color and flavor extraction. The must was fermented in small open-top fermentors, with three punch downs per day along with daily drain and returns building texture and complexity into the wine. After an average of 17 days on the skins, the wine was pressed gently and aged for 14 months in 34% new French oak, with the balance in one and two-year-old barrels. Buena Vista Carneros uses a screwcap closure as the preferred closure on its wines. "I am adamant in delivering the best expression of our vineyards. I believe this closure captures the pure Syrah aromas and flavors and will deliver the best quality in the glass,” remarks Winemaker Jeff Stewart.
