vintage
an ideal, drama-free vintage. long spring blooms led to warm summer months. an extended, cool fall yielded balanced, flavorful fruit. 2018 wines benefit from ingrained structure, acidity and balance - a cellar worthy year.
varietal
storied italian roots, with origins tracing back to etruscan winemaking. known as a finicky, terroir-driven grape with earth and mineral derived flavor complexity. adores hot sunny days, yielding plump, flavorful fruit with a rich blue-violet hue. subtler in character than typical california grapes, this varietal displays fine tannin structure that delivers finesse rather than overt power.
