Winemaker Notes

The Vineyards associated with this blend are all Alexander Valley, Linde Family Vineyards, Pigoni Ranch and the Harris-Kratka Vineyard. 2010 was a difficult growing season, major heat spikes in July and August followed by early rain in October, we were fortunate and picked just before that first rain.
