WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 2022 Substance Cs Cabernet Sauvignon is produced using 100% whole berry fermentation, with native yeasts initiating the fermentation process. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes 10 months of aging in French oak barriques, with 15% of the barrels being new. The wine is aged on its lees and is bottled without fining, a technique that aims to preserve the wine's natural character and texture. The grapes are sourced from various vineyards within the Columbia Valley AVA.
