Wine Notes
The warm spring in 2020 made for early bud break in most regions, followed by a cool March and April providing variable temperatures. Temperatures levelled off and stayed consistently warm throughout June and July and increasing again in August. During harvest, special micro ferments were performed to test for quality. We found that the 2020 vintage wines are tasting exceptional!
The climate of the Russian River Valley is greatly influenced by the fog that rolls in each evening from the nearby Pacific Ocean. This maritime layer cools the vineyards down in the evenings from their daytime temperature by as much as 35 to 40 degrees, creating conditions that allow the gradual ripening of grapes, and better retention of natural acidity for a perfect balance.
