Notes From The Winemaker:

NAME ORIGIN
The names given to Spring Valley Vineyard wines are a tribute to the family members who have succeeded in farming the same land where the vineyard and winery now flourish. This Cabernet Sauvignon blend’s name stems from Frederick Corkrum, son to Uriah and father to Shari, who grew up in Spring Valley.  

A FAMILY TRADITION
Following the tradition of Uriah, Frederick, and Nina Lee Corkrum, Shari Corkrum Derby and her husband Dean Derby continue to operate the wheat fields, vineyard, and winery. The hard work, traditional values, and deep family ties that have kept the ranch going for over 100 years are mirrored in Spring Valley Vineyard’s signature offerings. 

WINEMAKING
Spring Valley Vineyard fruit is hand-picked, hand-sorted, and gently de-stemmed by gravity. During the 10-20 day fermentation, each tank is tasted daily until pressing decision using wooden cage basked presses. In keeping with Spring Valley tradition, hand punchdowns occur twice a day until the end of alcoholic fermentation. The wine is transferred by pump into barrel for secondary fermentation, and then gets racked and blended together several times for clarity.  Finally, the different lots are blended to create our six distinctive labels.

Alcohol - 15.3%
Blend - 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 9% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec

"This New World-styled Cabernet Sauvignon blend is a highly structured, fruit-driven wine, what in France would be called “Un Vin Charpente,” or a wine with strong structure like a roof. A nose of candied plum, blackberry jam, and flowers leads into a huge, soft palate, with Cabernet Franc adding texture and vibrancy to the big, fruity Cabernet Sauvignon." - Serge Laville, Winemaker
