Winemaker's Note Summer 2020

Dear Members and  Guests,

We have been busy racking the remainder of our 2019 wines out of barrel and off their lees in preparation for bottling at the end of this month.  Our 2019 Estate and Reserve Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah are all hitting the mark and we are so excited to get them into bottle!  This time of year always holds challenges as we move to bottle and look forward to bringing in our next harvest.

Our Fall Club Shipment is also on the horizon.  We will be including newly released 2018 wines that definitely are ones to watch.  All three of our 2018 Estate wines boast massive scores from Wine Enthusiast. Our 2018 Estate Syrah, honored with 97 points and Editor’s Choice, will be released only to members. It has already garnered much attention from the industry.  2018 was an exceptional year and our wines are showing it!

2020 looks to be another memorable vintage.  We are looking forward to the upcoming harvest excitement as we welcome a new vintage into the winery.  We are grateful that we are able to continue to do what we love safely during this crazy time.  Thank you for your continued support.  Our vineyard and production teams look forward to sharing another vintage with you!
