WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Bread & Butter Cabernet Sauvignon undergoes malolactic fermentation, a process that contributes to its smooth texture and is represented by the 'Butter' in the producer's name. The wine is then aged in a mix of French and American oak barrels, which imparts notes of vanilla and toasted oak. Grapes are sourced from various vineyards across California, selected for their ability to produce ripe fruit characteristics. The winemaking approach prioritizes creating an approachable and fruit-forward style that is true to the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal.
