VINTAGE
The 2018 growing season was noted for being dry, cool and long; an
Like 2018 before it, 2019 was another stellar growing season in Napa
Valley, producing slightly smaller yields displaying a marvelous
blend of energy and richness. Late spring rains gave way to a
moderate growing season, with few extremes and consistent
morning fog. The vintage’s long hangtime culminated in an
especially warm fall that teased out further concentration to
complement the fully developed flavors and fresh acidity. Overall,
the 2019 vintage gave us beautifully balanced, richly flavored and
brightly focused wines.

was fermented and aged in French oak barrels from forests in
Bordeaux, while 20% was fermented and aged in concrete egg
