Vineyard Notes
Fruit from the marine influenced Monterey
County AVA offer tropical aromatics, while grapes
from Lake County contribute citrus notes to the
wine. Napa and Sonoma vineyards lend good
concentration and flavor to the blend. Vineyards
planted on the rolling plains in Santa Barbara’s
Happy Canyon appellation experience morning
coastal fog and afternoon winds, giving the wine its
tropical aromas and crisp, clean minerality. Blending
fruit from varied growing regions across California
creates a balanced, food-friendly wine.
Winemaking Notes
Across California in 2019, the growing season was
long and even, with moderate winter rains resulting
in a later than usual bud break. Cool spring
temperatures followed by warm temperatures in
the summer and fall, caused us to pick our fruit in
September. These conditions allowed fruit to ripen
evenly at a steady pace, making for a well-balanced
wine.
Harvest Notes
To preserve the wine’s fruit and natural acidity,
the wine underwent a long, cool fermentation in
stainless steel tanks. Finally, the lots are blended,
taking care to balance the characteristics of each
vineyard in the wine.
