Through dense plantings, meticulous pruning and canopy management, and careful hand-harvesting at night, each 25 pound bin of fruit arrives at the winery in pristine condition. The appellation compilation of Fortis will vary year-to-year according to each region􏰀s performance throughout the vintage. Fruit for the 2005 Fortis is a selection of 52% Stags Leap District, 28% Oakville, 11% Rutherford and 9% Carneros. HARVEST and WINEMAKING The 2005 vintage was a long, slow wait as cool temperatures prevailed from budbreak to September. Luckily, the last few months were sunny and warm through November when picking finally got underway. This wine was sorted with an intensive process of cluster selection, then berry selection before crushing. After malolactic, the wines were transferred to French oak barrels — 11 years ago
