Winemaker Notes

Bold, bright and expansive, this wine begins with luxurious aromas of blueberry, red currant, violets, sandalwood and savory dried herbs, as well as hints of baking spices and crème brûlée from French oak aging. On the palate, it displays energy and elegance with plush tannins and enlivening acidity underscoring flavors of fresh berries and juicy candied fruit that linger throughout a long, lush finish.

Production

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.
