Winemaker Notes

Inviting aromas of Asian pear and pink grapefruit are complemented by subtle hints of honeysuckle. On the palate, juicy strawberry and golden raspberry mingle with candied grapefruit. Minerality and vibrant acidity lead to a crisp and refreshing finish.

Production

After ample winter rains replenished the soils, a cold spring delayed budbreak and set the stage for a long, slow growing season. With cooler temperatures into the summer months, full veraison was delayed until early August. We began harvesting our sparkling grapes on September 8th, with our still wine picks commencing on September 27th and concluding on October 30th. Though one of the coolest vintages in memory, even at lower sugar levels, our 2023 grapes showed exceptional color and concentration. As a result, 2023 looks to be one of the finest Anderson Valley vintages ever, offering wines with beautiful structure, refined tannins and a distinctive elegance.
