Production Notes
2015 was another warm year with one of our earliest harvests to date.
Yields were lower than the past few growing seasons, but the quality of fruit
was exceptional with concentrated flavors and balanced acidity due to
consistently warm temperatures throughout the season. The grapes for
our 2015 Semillon were harvested in the cool morning hours of
September 8, 2015.
Vineyard Notes
The vineyards of Foley Sonoma lie at the heart of our estate in the
Alexander Valley appellation within Sonoma County. Located just beyond
the Foley Sonoma Old Vine block, this Semillon was planted in 2006, and
has since been a powerhouse for Semillon. The fruit produces highly
aromatic wines. Following harvest, the grapes were fermented in stainless
steel tanks and then racked to neutral French oak barrels for 10 months.
