2017 Ovid Experiment Red (F2.7)

Winemaker's Notes: "During the summer of 2017, we re-drew the block boundaries of the vineyard so that they reflected the soil chemistry. These areas were sampled separately and harvested separately as well. Based on previous history and intuition, we combined different parts of blocks for fermentation. These wines were aged separately for 14 months, at which point we created a blend of them and aged them for another 8 months prior to bottling. Throughout the aging and blending, we generally preferred the lots that were co-fermented. They tended to be more complete and displayed greater depth. Additionally, we found that this technique did a better job of capturing the unique areas throughout the vineyard. We were so impressed with the results that this is now standard practice for us." - Ovid Wines
