Winemaker’s Goal, In crafting the 2019 Juslyn Cabernet Sauvignon: I was looking to encapsulate the richness of the 2019 vintage through careful handling in the cellar. Pump-overs were carried out twice daily for short periods, in an effort to control extraction and curb tannin. A large percentage of new oak was used as the vintage was able to handle it! In finishing and final blending, small percentages of the estate’s Merlot, Cab Franc, and Petit Verdot were used (~5% in total) to provide a bit more complexity to the nose.
