Winemakers Notes
The 2021 season started off with a dry, cold winter season. We experience a return to drought conditions with only a quarter of the normal winter season rain. The cool spring pushed budbreak into the middle of April. Warm sunny weather finally arrived at the end of April and continued into May allowing the vine growth to steadily progress. The dry conditions gave us balanced vines by limiting shoot growth and setting a small crop. The rest of the growing season gave us perfect weather with only a few days over 100 degrees F. Ripening progressed steadily and uniformly. The small crop, dry weather, and abundant sunny days set things up for an early start to harvest. The dry, low yielding vintage produced wines with great intensity of flavor, energy, and balanced tannins. A stunning vintage.
Tasting Notes
Heady aromatics of Bing cherry, fresh flowers, plum fruit, and baking spices. Energetic & precise with minerality, red currant and bright red and blue fruit acidity, which fill the mouth. Lengthy and elegant, soft enveloping texture..
