Vinifikation Harvest was on average about two weeks later due to unusually cold and wet spring conditions, which delayed budbreak. Abundant rainfall continued into early summer. This led to a larger vine canopy and required additional resources to manage the vigorous growth. Flowering was largely even, and fruit set was good, promising a bountiful harvest. Temperatures at the start of the growing season were cool to moderate and gradually warmed towards ripeness. Notably, there were no heatwaves, which typically occur in February and March. This meant that water resources were less stressed, and the grapes experienced little to no sunburn. We were thrilled with the flavors during tasting for harvest decisions. The berries had soft skins, bursting with flavor, vibrant freshness, and a robust tannin structure. Harvest began in the second week of February, and we were blessed with mild weather for the rest of the season. The wines from this vintage are intensely colored and display refined balance and gravitas. Aged for 22 months in 81% new French barriques.
