Tasting Notes
We achieved another harvest with succulent fruit qualities expressing nice red fruit and floral aromatics.
Production Notes
Only 883 cases produced.
Winemaker Notes
After the stress of 2017 including the fires, we hoped for a more relaxed harvest this year, and Mother Nature delivered. The 2018 vintage required patience in the growing cycle because the development and flavor maturation took extra time, then rain in early October was followed by dry spells and moderate heat, rewarding our patience and the courage it took to wait for exactly the right time to harvest.
Cooperage Notes
Some new French oak with the majority being neutral Burgundy barrels.
