Faux Pas 2017 Dry Creek Valley

$55.00
Check out

    Overview

    Tradition rules it a Faux Pas, or misstep, if Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon are planted in the same vineyard. At Michel-Schlumberger we have created a Faux Pas that is a bold, full-flavored, welcoming wine that brings pleasure to the forefront and leaves teh rulebook behind.

    About This Wine

    Pairs delightfully with Jamaica Jerk spiced pork sliders and creamy mushroom soup topped with a cracked pepper froth or enjoy alongside of grilled filet mignon, braised pork tenderloin, or garlic and herb-roasted leg of lamb.

    Vineyard Notes

    This “Faux Pas” Red Wine is a blend of the finest lots of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah made from our mountain-top and benchland vineyards.  This wine brings together two wonderful varietals to create a rich and structured wine that showcases the “terroir” of Michel-Schlumberger.

    Harvest:  Sept 11th to Oct 17th, 2017

    Production Notes

    Fermentation: The grapes were crushed into small fermenters. After cold-soaking for three days to extract deep color, the must fermented on the skins for three weeks to obtain a richly extracted wine.

    Cooperage / Aging:  The wine was aged for 22 months in French oak barrels (25% new). Individual barrels were selected and blended to the optimum expression of flavor and structure for this wine. 

    Bottling Date:  July 18, 2019

    Production: 304 Cases
