Winemaking Notes
This smooth, supple, fruit forward Red Wine bursts with blackberry, dark cherry, and hints of spice. Its full body is supported with soft, rounded tannins and a lingering finish. Enjoy this food-friendly, versatile Red Blend with Korean short ribs, spaghetti marinara, or honey roasted butternut squash.
Production Notes
The 2023 vintage is not one we will soon forget. A cool and wet winter led to a budbreak 2-3 weeks later than average. Daytime temperatures throughout the growing season continued to be unusually cool, with averages in the low 70s and the warmest days just reaching into the mid 80s. This led to an exceptionally late harvest – over a full month later than 2022 on average, offering the grapes an extended hang time to develop extraordinary complexity and concentration. The evening coastal breezes into Sonoma County preserved fresh acidity and created beautiful balance with the season’s generous ripe fruit flavors.
