The 2022 vintage began just as the previous vintage had ended, with drier-than-average conditions and higher-than-average temperatures. The warm and dry winter coaxed the vines out of dormancy early, where the tender shoots were met with a few nights of freezing temperatures in the spring. The continuing drought conditions made for smaller-than-average yields across all vineyards and varietals. Mild temperatures in May, June, and July produced wines with remarkable color, intense fruit, and optimal phenolic ripeness.

Aromas of lemon zest, apple peel, cream and soft oak; well balanced acidity with soft texture through the finish.
