This particular wine is a 2021 vintage, composed entirely of 100% Pinot Noir grapes from California appellations. The growing season was characterized by minimal winter rains and a mild spring, leading to drought conditions. Vineyard practices were adapted to ensure balanced crop loads. Budbreak in the North Coast vineyards occurred approximately two weeks ahead of the cooler Central Coast, resulting in harvest concluding on October 15th in the North Coast and November 6th on the Central Coast. Both regions experienced smaller-than-average berries and clusters, which led to lower yields but resulted in deeply concentrated flavors, aromas, and textures. It was aged for 12 months in 100% French oak, with 35% new and 65% neutral barrels.
