2015 "Night Owl" Red Blend Reserve
Our exclusive Reserve wines are hand harvested and triple hand sorted here at Wise Villa in the vineyards you see carefully tended before you. Crafted in small lots, each wine is designed to showcase the finest expression of the varietal. After hand harvesting, the grapes are destemmed, cold soaked with their natural yeast present and then go through a series of fermentation days with punch downs, extended maceration, and are pressed direct to barrels on full lees for aging. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Night Owl are aged in 50% new French and Minnesota oak, maple and hickory barrels and 50% neutral oak for 20 months. All of our Reserve wines are then finished with an additional 12 months on 100% new oak.
**For every 2 bottles of Reserve wine you purchase, you’ll receive a FREE branded wooden wine box! ($45 Value)**

Winemaker Notes
The 2015 Reserve Night Owl is a bold mix of estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, and Petite Sirah. This elegant wine displays flavors of blackberries, plum, mocha, clove, and smoky cedar with a rich deep color and bold finish. The Cabernet Sauvignon is the most popular grape in the US for a reason, it is incredibly complex and flavorful. Malbec and Merlot add beautiful dark and bright fruit flavors, and Petite Sirah packs a deep color and ripe fruit flavors as well as ample spice. The grapes for this blend are cold soaked and fermented with whole grapes at cold temperatures, to achieve a partial carbonic maceration and maximize fruit forward aromatic expression. These techniques result in a vibrant fruit profile and lighter tannins.
