| Vinification The vintage was very consistent and crop yields were low but fruit quality was excellent. The cool harvest temperature slowed the accumulation of sugars and allowed us to hang the fruit longer and develop more varietal character. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Winemaking The Grapes for the 2007 Ping were harvested, on October 31st 2007, very ripe at an average of 26 brix from our premium vineyards in the Oliver region. The components were racked separately into 60% French oak and 40% American oak aged for 19 months. The blend is 54% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Aroma / Bouquet / Nose At first aromas of dark plum and cherries permeate from the glass followed by spice and vanilla flavours that flood the palate. Firm full tannins in the finish make it a great wine for food pairing. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Food and Wine Pairing Spoil your friends with our 2007 Ping paired with Herb-Roasted Rack of Lamb with Smoky Cabernet Sauce balanced with Roquefort Bread Puddings on the side. Ping enjoys slow roasts and stronger cheeses. | |||||||||||||||||||||
