The Vintage

The 2019 growing season began with budbreak at the beginning of April, starting growth out a little later than usual. Even but cool weather led to promising flowering and a good set. Modest crop levels allowed the vines to progress through verasion with very little irrigation, and ripeness was achieved at the end of September. The wines from this vintage are characterized by full, ripe flavors and concentration. They will drink well now and continue to develop well in the bottle over the next 5–7 years.
