Vintage
The 2021 vintage proved dry and warm days with an extended bud break and bloom. Crop levels were low, with high quality at harvest. Seductive and precise with incredible depth and sophistication. Despite early accessibility, this Red Blend will continue to be generous for at least another 5+ years.
