VINTAGE NOTES

The 2023 vintage was defined by a wet winter, cool summer, long ripening, and stellar-quality fruit. Much-needed winter rains replenished Sonoma County’s soils and aquifers through early spring, followed by intermittent frost that caused some stunting and uneven growth, though significant damage was avoided. A late but beautiful spring saw grapevines flourish on a delayed schedule. Summer remained cool, slowing maturation despite good fruit set and crop load, while the season ended with cycles of 90+ degree heat and measurable rain over four weeks. Careful canopy management and fruit thinning extended harvest into late October, ultimately yielding exceptional fruit that transformed weather challenges into opportunities for quality.

TASTING NOTES

Delicate aromas of fresh peony, a hint of white pepper, and the subtle warmth of beeswax greet you. Lychee adds a lively verve to the palate, complemented by a whisper of toasted bread that enhances the wine's structure, depth, and presence. Bright and layered, it carries through to a fresh, invigorating, finish, leaving you wanting another sip.
