The Vintage
The 2023 vintage will be remembered for many reasons. It was one of our wettest years in a long time, with
over 40 inches of rain here in Carneros. Flowering was one of the latest on record (June 6th), followed by one
of the latest harvests. In 2022, we had all our grapes picked by Sep. 15th, in 2023 we had not even started.
Our first lot was the 1861, which came in September 24th. The first week of October was very busy for us,
bringing in fruit from the Estate, Zio Tony Vineyard and Gaps Crown Vineyard. Our fruit was clean and the
beautiful slow ripening helped develop delicate layers, soft tannins and intense flavors. Due to the cool
weather, the acidity was maintained and added great structure to these delicious wines.
2023 was a year of patience, lots of canopy work and trust. I am excited to share these wines with you.
