Palate

Medium-full bodied, dry red wine with soft mouth-coating tannins, black cherry flavors and a long, smooth finish

Growing Conditions

2019 was a banner vintage. Spring saw relatively cool temps and greater than average rainfall, but near perfect summer and early fall conditions more than made up for it. September was particularly ideal, with warm temps and very little rainfall. The fruit came in clean and with ripeness levels higher than we’ve seen since 2013, all balanced by fresh acidity. 2019 wines will be expressive and beautifully balanced.
