WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the 14 Hands Cabernet Sauvignon prioritizes minimal intervention to allow the natural expression of the fruit. Grapes are sourced from the Columbia Valley, grown on challenging hillside terrain. Following harvest, the wine undergoes fermentation, with the goal of highlighting its inherent taste characteristics. It is then aged in a mix of American and French oak barrels, which contributes to its structure and texture.
