The 2019 vintage was an excellent vintage with tonnage levels close to average. The year began with heavy rains in winter, followed by a few spring showers. Summer weather was moderate and ideal. Outside of anticipated heat spikes in August and September, conditions during harvest were also mild and lovely. As a result, hang times were long enough to achieve perfect phenolic ripeness while maintaining color and acidity. The 2019 vintage is high quality, with a signature of freshness, generosity of fruit, and lush tannins.
