Production Notes
The 2021 growing season began with very little rain, which set the tone for another drought year in Northern California. The crop was very light with small berries, which were high in flavor concentration and of amazing quality. A warm summer and early fall were ideal for the ripening and maturity of the fruit. While a light crop year, the 2021 vintage was a winemakers delight with exceptional fruit quality.
Vineyard Notes
Our 2021 Rosé is 100% Merlot fruit from our Estate in Rutherford, Napa Valley. In addition to its historical
importance, Rutherford is a premier region for luxury-class wines farmed in the famous Rutherford Dust. The fruit was harvested in August 2021 and aged in stainless steel tanks with no malolactic fermentation. The wine was bottled in January 2022.
