Vintage
2015 made for an excellent vintage in Sonoma County! An early start to the growing season was followed by warm temperatures. Consistently sunny days throughout the spring and summer resulted in even ripening of the fruit. The grapes were harvested from September 23rd to October 1st, 2015 at optimum maturity. Then it was fermented in 100% stainless steel tanks with regular pump-overs. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was aged in French, American and Hungarian oak (30% new) for 16 months.
