Harvest

Following a mild winter, the 2020 vintage was one to remember! A cooler spring delayed budbreak, but the summer was close to average. Other than a slightly rainy July, most of the summer was dry and sunny, which allowed the grapes plenty of time to ripen with almost no disease pressure. The longer season allowed for higher sugar levels with powerful tannins and structure. The 2020 reds are big and punchy, with intense but silky tannins and lots of dark fruit flavors.
