Vintage Notes: 2023 began with a series of impressive rainstorms that saturated the soils and filled water reservoirs in January. Cold temperatures and a wet winter kept the vines in hibernation until late Spring, with budbreak only starting in late March. A cool Spring kept vines in bloom for longer and moderate Summer temperatures extended the growing season even more. This temperate growing season harkened back to pre-drought years and allowed the grapes to gradually ripen. The weather remained steadily temperate throughout the picking season which allowed grapes to develop flavor, and a push of heat early in October encouraged lingering grapes to ripen.

Vineyard Notes: The 2023 vintage is composed of 6 different vineyards from throughout Sonoma Valley and Carneros. Los Chamizal is located at the foot of the Moon Mountain AVA, farmed organically and planted to clones 777, Mt. Eden and Wadenswil. Brooklime sits atop the western hills of Sonoma receiving rolling fog from the Petaluma Gap. Durell Vineyard, Leveroni Vineyard, Gloria Ferrer all bring beautiful Sonoma valley floor energy to the blend.

Winemaking Notes: The grapes fermented in stainless steel open top tanks with anywhere from 0 to 50% whole cluster inclusion, depending on the lot. The wine aged for 6 months in 100% neutral barrels and bottled on May 21st, 2024.
