Vineyard

Fruit from vineyards within the Sonoma appellation offers minerality and complexity. The cool, marine influenced Monterey, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo vineyards provides the wine with its bright fruit flavors and well-balanced acidity.

Harvest

Across California, the growing season was long and even, with moderate winter rains resulting in a later then usual bud break. Cool spring temperatures followed by warm temperatures in the summer and fall caused us to pick our fruit in September and October. These conditions allowed fruit to ripen evenly at a steady pace, making for a well-balanced wine.

Winemaking Techniques

After harvest, fruit from each vineyard is whole cluster pressed to retain delicate fruit flavors before being fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve the bright acidity and fruit flavors.
