New Arrivals/Restock

Winery Notes: To ensure minimal color or tannin pick up from the moment the fruit is harvested until it arrives at the winery, we started night picking last year with the 2016 vintage. Reflected in the wine’s pale copper salmon hue, the 2017 vintage was 100% picked during the cool temperatures of the late night and early morning. The result, combined with the gentle late ripening from the cool fall, is a concentration and cohesiveness in the wine that it’s never quite had before. The balance between the acidity at the finish and the savory, citrus and red fruit notes are familiar to past vintages. The 2017 has more lift and energy and seems more tightly sewn together. We expanded the amount of native fermentation to 50% of the wine, adding to fullness in the mid-palate. It’s far from heavy but there’s a creaminess on the palate that is gorgeous. We are very proud of this one.
