Vineyard and Winemaking:
Small portions of two blocks from Beckstoffer IV are the source of grapes for the inaugural vintage of Corra Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard borders Sulphur Creek in St. Helena. The soil is a gravelly loam with river rock. It contributes to the development of small berries. Two clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, 6 and 7, were selected. Fruit was harvested into small bins. Clusters and grape berries were sorted and crushed into a small stainless steel tank for primary fermentation. Malolactic fermentation took place in French oak barrels.
