VINTAGE NOTES
The 2019 growing season was a  relatively gentle and steady growing season, our grapes were later season harvests which in combination with the mild late summer weather allowed for longer hang time for the grapes on the vine. Longer hang time, under these current near-perfect conditions, allows grapes to evenly develop rich color and more complex flavors.
