The Vintage
The 2021 vintage has proven to be another cooler growing season with modest yields but exceptional quality. The 2020/2021 winter brought below average rainfall to the Carmel Valley area and overall proved to leave the vineyards with little groundwater supply. Cool, even temperatures during set allowed for the vines to establish a healthy crop. The season continued with mild temperatures and above average occurrence of fog, allowing for an extended hang-time on the vine. Overall, quality is very high from the harvest with wines showing similarities to the 2018 and 2019 vintages. The vineyard continues to mature and complex with age and the results are more apparent in each subsequent year.
