Our 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon was blended with Merlot and Petit Verdot, and will reside for three months in our 6,000-gallon oak casks (originally constructed in 1976) before moving to French and American oak barrels for an additional 12 months of aging. http://blog.jordanwinery.com/2010/01/tallowing-cask-doors-2009
