Meyer Family Cellars, Fluffy Billows (2019)
The Cabernet fruit was hand-picked into macro bins, then sorted and-stemmed and crushed into stainless steel tanks. Cold soaking was carried out over 24 hours, and the must was inoculated and pumped over one to three times per day, then pressed before finishing primary fermentation. Once dry, the wine was racked to barrel and inoculated for malolactic fermentation. It was racked again at the conclusion of secondary fermentation and twice more before bottling. Though it was filtered, owing to its time in barrel, fining was not necessary. OTHER NOTES This will be the last vintage of Fluffy Billows released until Fall 2024 so make sure to stock up now!
