Harvest
The 2019 vintage began with a cold, wet winter followed by a cool spring, which resulted in a late budbreak. The cool, consistent weather provided abundant hangtime, ensuring ideal flavor development in the grapes. Yields for our red varieties were slightly above average, and temperate late-season weather allowed for a measured pace to harvest. Across the board, the 2019 wines are bright and balanced with smooth, elegant tannins and lush, vibrant flavors.
Winemaking
Alluring aromas of Bosc pear, green apple, lemon zest and honeysuckle rise from the glass hinting at this wine’s depth and complexity. On the palate, the texture is lush and flowing, carrying layered flavors of honeydew, white nectarine, orange blossom and Honeycrisp apple to a bright, energetic finish.
