The winter of 2021-2022 had minimal rainfall adding to drought conditions in Sonoma County. With mild winter and spring temperatures, budbreak was ahead of average. Summer was warm and dry, with above average temperatures in August and September, leading to an earlier increase in brix. Maturity continued on track with an average harvest start date for the reds, picking the fruit for this wine on October 5th.
