Another classic vintage for this higher-altitude fruit, with steady diurnal shifts and even ripening above the Valley’s fog line. Small clusters hand-harvested before dawn are hand-sorted before traditional fermentation, with extended maceration on the skins. Aged in 70% new French oak barrels for 29 months, with native malolactic fermentation completed by its first spring.
