Winemaker Notes:
Excellence defines the start of the 2020 growing season in Napa Valley. A dry winter and mild spring led to early budbreak. During summer, a few heat spells pushed the vines through the bloom period, and again at the completion of veraison, with perfectly moderate growing conditions in between. Warm, sunny weather through August allowed for an early harvest of white grapes. We captured the ideal maturity window for our Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay blocks, resulting in wines with beautiful ripeness, bright, balanced acidity and an abundance of character.
