Story

Vineyards- Sourced from Heringer Vineyards in the Clarksburg AVA of California. Sustainably farmed, no glyphosate used in the vineyard management.

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.
