Growing Conditions
2021 was a challenging vintage. Spring was warm and promising, summer was hot and wet, and fall was a bit wild, with several heavy rain events. Early October heat and sunshine saved the day, though, and advanced ripening enough to deliver quality fruit. Wines will be subtle and balanced because of low sugar levels but mature flavors.
