“The full-bodied palate has a lively backbone and grainy tannins framing the muscular baked black fruits flavors, finishing with a spicy lift.”  Lisa Perotti-Brown – Wine Independent Significant rain in December and relatively dry, mild conditions through March created an early bud break and led to steady summer conditions until the first week of September when temperatures rose significantly. Cooler weather after the heat spell allowed our hillside and south valley vineyards to recover and were harvested in great condition. Overall quality is excellent with wines showing a broad spectrum of aromas and flavors. In 2022, grapes from our Cordes and Stricker Vineyards were superlative and form the backbone of this vintage.
