Vintage Notes
The 2022 season started with below-average rainfall, extending California’s drought conditions for a third year. However, a few large rainfall events filled reservoirs in Napa and Sonoma, improving early growing conditions substantially from 2021. A mild spring with close-to-normal rainfall and a cool summer brought the vines into balance. Cool maritime fog and wind in August matured the grapes slowly, retaining fresh acidity. We harvested cooler-climate varieties before the Labor Day warm spell and Cabernet Sauvignon after for peak richness. The resulting wines exhibit elegance, with the reds showing softer and more polished tannins. This will certainly be a vintage to be remembered.
