Vintage Notes
The 2020 vintage was a combination of a warm, dry winter, late March rains, and circumstance beyond the typical season. The mild spring weather provided a great early start, which was later tempered by the warmth of the summer growing season and the frequent heat spikes. 2020 with its low rainfall, low yields, and dynamic weather set the stage for fruit with pronounced micro-climatic and aromatic complexity. While vineyard and winery working conditions were adapted at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic with extensive safety protocols, further challenges were manifested by wildfires across California that would prove an even greater challenge to the latter half of the vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot were harvested late September into October, while other varietals were not harvested. The limited supply of the resulting wines shows all the phenolic ripeness, acidic backbone, and exceptional nuance of this challenging vintage.
