Growing Conditions
In 2019, our fruit matured beautifully on a 15 degree south facing slope at 1000 feet elevation. The vines enjoyed a cool winter with ample rain leading into a shy spring, with a later bud break. The conditions during flowering were average, and did not limit yields. The grapes endured a typically hot summer followed by a warm fall with our notably cool nights.
Harvest
Harvest was in late October and went smoothly.
Bottling
Bottling dates were challenging due to COVID-19 restrictions, though it did not impact the quality or complexity of the wines.
Aging
18 months in 50% New French Oak
