Vineyards- Sourced from vineyards in Russian River, Sonoma Coast and Clarksburg, California
Vintage- The 2018 vintage offered excellent growing conditions. A mild winter followed by an early spring started the year off early. California did not suffer any heat waves (or fires) this summer so the ripening was slow and steady. We picked much later this year as mild days continued into September. This vintage will be characterized by good acidities and lower alcohols.
