Southern Napa vineyards planted with Pommard clone produce the integrated and concentrated flavors of this pinot noir. The 2019 southern Napa Valley vintage started with heavy spring rains onto clay soils, feeding the vines over a long dry summer. Classic San Pablo Bay fog and breezes kept temperatures moderate with slight uptick towards harvest. The abundant hangtime teased out great color, structure and soft tannins. Yields were slightly below average creating demand for this vintage’s exceptional fruit with bright acidity and great texture. Harvested in Sept 16th, 224 cases made.
