About the wine
Harvested from the vineyards across California, the grapes were picked in the early morning hours to retain their freshness. Strawberry, raspberry and cranberry notes greet the nose with a touch of herbaceousness. Juicy on the palate, red fruit flavors combine with blueberry and blackberry with a layer of brown sugar and spice. The finish is delightful.
2021 was a smooth and uneventful harvest season. June started out warm, followed by a cool and foggy July and August that slowed ripening and caused nice retention of acidity. Even ripening, with no extreme heat events, made for ideal growing conditions. Sparse winter rains resulted in an early budbreak, evenly developed clusters, and smaller berries packed full of flavor. Overall, the fruit was exceptional, making it another amazing year for quality.
