Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The 2020 growing season began with heavy rains which enriched the soil with an abundance of nutrients. Fruit set was on course during the spring, just in time for the brief heat spike in June and remaining summer warm weather. Harvest began in mid-August where only the finest fruit was harvested.
Production Notes
This wine was harvested between October 2-4, 2020 from our estate vineyard in Carneros. It was harvested at night and whole cluster direct to press. It fermented and aged in a mixture of new and used French barrels.
Food Pairing Notes
This is a deliciously versatile wine. Enjoy as an aperitif or pair with chicken and grilled fish entrees, creamy vegetable soups or a selection of your favorite cheeses.
