The 2023 vintage commenced 3-4 weeks behind the previous 10 year average due to heavy rainfall and cold temperatures that lasted into April and May. The winter leading into the growing season saw above average rainfall at nearly 40 inches in most areas around Napa Valley. This did lead to some anxiety around a late harvest and potential for early rains, but we saw a long mild summer that lasted long into October.

In the end we had amazing flavor development from this longer hang time, as well as beautiful color and phenolics that gave us perfect building blocks to craft perfectly balanced and delicious wines across the board. We are very excited to release all the wines from this amazing Vintage!
