A cool climate means grapes spend more time on the vine. That allows a deeper, more dramatic spectrum of fl avors and aromas to develop. And that creates decidedly rich and layered wines.
2013 was no exception. Cool weather late in the season allowed for especially lush flavor and texture. Harvest was September 5th to October 18th—grapes were picked during the night and cool days followed by gentle, whole-cluster pressing.
“Scents of Meyer lemon, vanilla, yellow plum and peach blossom. Fresh acidity is balanced by sweet spice, and flavors of Gravenstein apple and shortbread.” ELIZABETH GRANT-DOUGLAS, WINEMAKER
