Growing Conditions
Vintage 2016 had near perfect weather and continues the streak of great California vintages. Winter gave us our average amount of
rainfall followed by a warm spring that allowed most varieties to set a nice crop. August cooled things off and allowed some increase
in hang time and we didn’t see any major heat spikes during September and October.
Aging
stainless steel and neutral French Oak
Food Pairing
Nectarines and macadamia nuts with honey; fennel-dusted sea scallops or halibut; butter lettuce, shaved fennel and radishes.
