Angel Melange 2018
Angel Mélange is a limited production blended wine to honor our Louise Angels, the staff volunteered to stay in the hotel supporting our group during our Covid isolation period.
While in isolation a fellow wine club member Warren Chandler painted the image of Mel, one of the hotel employees, all of whom will remain in our hearts forever. We decided to create a special limited bottling with Mel's image on the label to honor our "Louise Angels".
February saw abundant rains, followed by lots of filtered light in spring and early summer. Both bud break and flowering occurred a bit late, but under ideal weather conditions, creating plentiful and even fruit set.
Summer brought generous sun during the day and cooler marine influences, virtually uninterrupted by major heat spikes.
The relatively mild summer followed by extended fall sunshine and moderate heat created near-ideal conditions as the fruit developed flavor complexity, approaching maturity with gradual increases in sugar levels, reaching optimal balance of brix and pH levels at harvest.
