HARVEST 2021

Harvest is here!

2021 has been a challenging year from weather to delays with barrels shipping over from Europe. But it will be worth the wait! It’s been a cool summer with chilly foggy nights, delaying ripening for our old estate vines. So far viognier is in and a few varietals that were sourced from Paso Robles and Santa Rita Hills have arrived as well. The fruit looks amazing and the ferments we have going are smelling wonderful! And even with the delays, our new oak barrels have arrived and are ready for the 2021 wines. This extra time has got my experimental juices flowing, so I’m working on something new for you all and I look forward to sharing it with you in 2022!
