2008 Springfield Estate Work of Time

Blend: 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 31% Cabernet Franc and 14% Petit Verdot. It was our desire to produce a Bordeaux Blend and so we planted the classic varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. These vines were planted on carefully selected sites and took 9 years to reach maturity. The grapes were fermented whole with native yeasts and left for 5 weeks on their skins. The wine was then barrel aged for two years followed by four years of bottle maturation. This wine, rich, classic and complex, truly is a work of time. It will age well for up to 10 years. - Springfield Estates Website
