Winemaker Notes:

A dry winter and generally cool growing year, punctuated by a handful of moderate heat events, set the stage for our 2021 growing year. Early on, we knew we were preparing for a vintage to remember. A lack of rain limited yields and canopy vigor but provoked unusually early flavor development. The summer brought slow and steady flavor and color development, along with great retention of acidity, before a spike in temperatures drove ripening. Our resulting whites and Rosé are fresh, complex and nicely concentrated.
