Winemaker Notes
Structured and inviting, this wine captures the depth and nuance of Rutherford with clarity. Aromas of dark chocolate, fig, blackberry, blueberry, and crushed violets develop with finesse, bringing dimension to both nose and palate. Graphite and fine dusty tannins lend texture and drive, carrying through to a finish that is long, composed, and quietly powerful.
Production
In 2023, heavy winter and spring rains delayed budbreak and set the stage for one of the latest vintages in decades. Cooler spring temperatures led to an extended flowering period with our team applying post-veraison thinning to achieve a balanced crop. As the season progressed, temperatures remained below average, which provided additional hangtime but required extra patience. Our patience paid off, with 2023 offering one of our most unique and rewarding vintages to date! Semillon harvest began on August 28th with Sauvignon Blanc soon following. With no significant heat events, the grapes were able to ripen beautifully. Harvest concluded on November 9th with Cabernet Sauvignon from Oak Knoll and Howell Mountain. Our 2023 whites are crisp, with ideal flavor development and bright acids, and the reds are pure, supple and balanced, with vibrant acidity, fresh flavors, and intense colors.
