On the palate, it balances soft tannins, a moderate to full body, and well-integrated oak, making it harmonious and approachable with a mix of fruitiness, structure, and complexity.

Vintage Notes

2022 was an extraordinary year in the vineyards. Every few weeks, unusual weather events swept through the warm spring. Summer began with a heat wave reaching 110°F in Lake County, followed by heavy mid-summer rains. The two inches of rain delayed our harvest until the soil dried, and brix levels rose.
