Vintage Notes
Vintage 2021 is a story of small but mighty. Drought conditions were prevalent in winter and spring. Temperatures were modera te
during spring but began to warm significantly during summer. Flowering led to lighter than usual fruit set with low vine vigor.
Warm conditions during ripening led to beautiful fruit flavors and intense color. Harvest started in mid-August with Sauvignon
Blanc and carried on at a steady pace through September and October with red varieties. While low in volume, the wines are
aromatic, lively and well structured and we can't wait to share them with you.
Winemakers Comments
We scour Napa Valley for the best sites to grow Cabernet every year. We utilize a diverse selection of appellations and elevations to
craft a wine that is classic, balanced and complex.
