FROM THE WINEMAKER

VINTAGE NOTES

Each vintage presents a unique set of conditions, and we approach every year ready to face the challenge. For vintage 2018, budbreak began on schedule at the end of February, and spring brought moderate temperatures that progressed into a warm summer without any disruptive heat spikes. Steady growing conditions continued through Harvest, which began in mid-September for the white varieties. We continued picking our red varieties long into the first weeks of November. With such lengthy hang time, the fruit matured consistently and was picked at its peak, promising exceptional flavor in bottle.

PAIRING SUGGESTION

“This wine makes a delicious starter to the meal, pairing beautifully alongside a savory cheese and charcuterie spread or even a more decadent duck rillette. It also delivers the perfect finish to a meal, complementing nutty, layered desserts like brittle, biscotti or crème brulee."

- Chad Hendrickson, Executive Chef
