The weather in 2018 was spectacular, making this another exceptionally fine vintage for Sonoma County. A near record long growing season, with plenty of cool days, punctuated with sunny and warm patches allowed flavor and textures to mature fully. Crop levels were above average, with many sited producing the best crops in years. The acidity levels are higher than normal, with perfectly ripened fruit. Though the year was cool, the fruit was very clean and high quality. A vintage to remember!

2018 shows a spicy, lifted nose with pine forrest shaved fennel bulb, ripe pear, dried apricot and beeswax aromas. Crisp, mineral flavors surround a dense core of juicy pineapple, peach, toasted nuts and clove. The broad palate is at once dense and full while maintaining the critical refreshing acidity to match with rich seafood dishes.
