Divided into 24 separate blocks based on varietal type, sun exposure, soil profile, and clonal selection, the vineyard is planted in dry, rocky, volcanic soils between 1,400 and 1,900 feet of elevation and enjoys a near 360-degree exposure, offering a diverse range of growing conditions. The well-drained soils and position high above the fog line routinely stresses the vines, yielding small crops of intensely flavorful grapes. Fermentation and maceration are carefully managed to monitor tannin levels and limit over-extraction of the small berries with intense mountain character. Free-run component wines are aged in French oak barrels and subsequently blended, for a total of 18 months in new French oak prior to bottling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cakebread","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42831388246098,"sku":"7678867996754","price":229.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/3826\/products\/CakebreadDancingBeaR.jpg?v=1771365236","url":"https:\/\/www.brix26.com\/products\/cakebread-2023-dancing-bear-ranch-cabernet-sauvignon-howell-mountain","provider":"Brix26 Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
