VINEYARD

THE VINEYARD: The fruit for this wine came from our Oakville estate. The well-drained, low-fertility soils and optimal sun exposure here enable the development of rich, complex flavors, and impeccable phenolic maturity.

THE VINTAGE: The 2021 growing season was excellent and mild. After rains in January and February, the season remained dry. The weather was optimal at budbreak in April, bloom in May, and through the summer into harvest. A lower-than-average yield resulted in small, deeply concentrated grapes.
