WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The 2022 growing season was yet another in a string of drought years. Though our yearly rainfall was only slightly lower than average, the bulk of that rain came in October and December of 2021, while the spring of 2022 was uncharacteristically dry and gave way to a seasonably dry summer. This was followed by an intense heat wave during the first week of September, with temperatures soaring as high as 118 degrees Fahrenheit, causing a dramatic increase in our grape’s sugar levels. A patient harvest allowed cooler temperatures and normal sugar levels to return before picking.
TASTING NOTES:
Lemongrass, pink grapefruit and flint lift from the glass and fill the mouth with flavor. This vibrant and energetic wine is unctuous, bold, crisp and delicious.

Glazed lemons, pear drops, ripe gooseberries, acacia and wet stones on the nose. Juicy and vibrant on the palate with attractive notes of tarragon and citrus peel. Medium- to full-bodied with vivid acidity. Crunchy and flavorful at the end. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
