The warm spring in 2020 made for early bud break in most regions, followed by a cool March and April and variable temperatures. Temperatures leveled off and stayed consistently warm throughout July and August. Fruit was chosen to focus on rounder tannins, aromatic notes of warm spices, and ripe, rich jammy fruit flavors evocative
of the lush cool landscapes of southern and western Sonoma County. During harvest, we ran micro ferments to test
for quality, and found that the 2020 vintage wines are tasting exceptional!

Sonoma County is one of only a few appellations in the world that offers a diverse range of climate where both cool climate varietals such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and warm weather varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot can thrive.
