Harvest NOtes

  • Verasion was three weeks late, followed by a temperate summer.
  • This vintage was preordained in Spring of 2016 when the vines set their 2018 crop load, storing away nutrients to produce higher than normal yields.
  • Care was taken to fine tune crop load to maximize fruit intensity.
  • After brief rains, fall heat ushered in harvest.
