About this wine

Vintage 2017
An El Nino weather pattern brought a wet winter and spring to the North Coast in 2017. A heat spike in June advanced the white grapes and prompted harvest in late August. Once the white grapes were in, cooler weather set in and gave us a delayed start to the red grape harvest 2 weeks later. It was almost like a mini holiday, mid harvest. Overall, the crop came in a little lighter than average. 95% of the vintage was in when the fires in Sonoma, Napa and Lake Counties began. We were luckily unscathed, even with the Sulphur Fire less than a mile from the Home Ranch.
