The 2023 vintage was an overall cooler year with a wet winter including a heavy dusting of snow in vineyards late February. The year progressed with a cold spring, delaying bloom and a cooler than usual summer resulting in a later vintage, the latest we have experienced in the past two decades. These growing conditions produced wines with a brighter fruit profile and added complexity at slightly lower alcohols. The youthful character of the 2023 vintage indicates that these wines will hold exceptional aging potential.
