Growing Conditions
The 2020 growing season started out cool and dry which resulted in late bud break and flower bloom. The late Spring and Summer was warm and dry with cool nights. This diurnal shift resulted in very ripe fruit with fresh acidity.
Harvest
The vines were free of disease pressure and the grapes were clean, ripe and fresh with the resulting wines showing power and balance.
Fruit was harvested on September 30, 2020 from Martini Family Vineyard
Bottling
