Petaluma Cellar

Cabernet Sauvignon Port

October 27th 2010

Removed almost 6 gallons of juice from the Cabernet must while still fermenting and at about 5.5 degrees brix.

Added

2.25 liters of 151 proof Everclear

4.5 liters of 80 proof Brandy

1/2 lb. of California toasted oak chips

This calculated out to about 20% alcohol

and probably dropped brix to about 4.25 and maybe a bit low for a port

May 2011

This was racked once and another 1/2 lb. of chips added

September 15th, 2011

Bottled in mostly small bottles

61 375 ml

4 500 ml

5 750 ml

for equivalent of about 3 cases
