WINEMAKER NOTES - "After encountering sever drought conditions for the last 2-3 years, Sonoma County received record breaking and persistent rainfall throughout winter and into early spring of 2023. Budbreak came late with new season leaves emerging in late March to early April – some three to four weeks later than 2022. Spring stayed relatively cool, slowing shoot growth and delaying bloom well into May. The trend of running 3-4 weeks behind continued throughout the growing season and into harvest. The long and cool growing season did have an upside –providing ideal conditions for flavor development and acid retention. At harvest, the fruit displayed great flavor intensity and vibrant acidity. Our Russian River Valley Pinot Noir harvest began on September 18 th months."
