Wine Details
This bottle has the following characteristics:
Appellation
Red Hills
Winemaker Notes
The 2014 vintage began with a slightly early bud-break, marked by mild, even temperatures. Spring at 2,200 feet elevation was virtually frost-free. Summer heat is the norm for our mountain vineyard and this year was no exception. Heat spikes gave us a string of days of up to 110 degrees, tempered by cooling coastal breezes in the evenings, providing the perfect growing season. Despite the early start, ripening slowed toward the end of the season, providing the luxury of a long hang time and extended harvest. The fruit showed beautiful balance and ideal maturity. Harvest was late October.
