Vintage Notes:
The 2021 vintage started off with cool days and nights in the
winter months. As the season progressed the weather was
consistently warm with very little heat spikes. The harvest began
1-2 weeks earlier than "normal" years due to the smaller crop size
on the vine. This decrease in berry size led to concentrated flavors
and aromas in the fruit. With high acids and clean fruit, the 2021
vintage is expected to be a premium vintage in and around
Sonoma County.
