THE 2020 VINTAGE

2020 was a dry growing season. The winter saw moderate temperatures, with just above 10 inches of rain, setting off budbreak 10 days earlier that usual. A mild spring slowed things down allowing healthy canopy growth. Hot summer days encouraged the vines to ripen slowly and clusters to develop their signature mountain complexity. Harvest began 10 days earlier than previous years. From the very beginning, the vines self-regulated and showed lower yields, again with signs of concentration and density that amplified the character of the mountain site. Dry farming, high elevation, and older vines have become the signature of these wines, allowing the team to offset the many challenges and variabilities of the growing season.
