Nose
The resulting wine is medium bodied, silky and flavorful.
Palate
A full bouquet of bright cherry, raspberry and blackberry, accented with a hint of vanilla.
Growing Conditions
The 2021 growing season began with frequent rainfall, leading to rapid canopy growth across the farm. The fast-established leaf presence proved crucial, as continued precipitation and cloud cover in summer put a greater level of importance on the solar energy collected in spring. The fall brought enough sunlight and respite from the rain that harvest brought in fruit with a compelling balance of sugar and acid levels. Wines from this vintage will feature a strong backbone of acidity with fragrant aromas and nuanced layers.
