Winemaker's Journal

What an incredible vintage the 2024 season turned out to be. It was truly a vintage for the ages! I will remember the 2024 harvest as one with perfect fruit and perfect timing: excellent quality with clean, fresh flavors and exquisite chemistry. Mother Nature was most accommodating during harvest — she gave us gentle ripening that allowed us to bring in fruit exactly when needed and threw in a few rain days along the way to cool temperatures down. Rain days can be a blessing in the winery as a chance to clean tanks and get ready for the next vineyard pick. I can’t wait to see how these wines develop in barrel over the next year.

While the Pinot Noir goes to rest in barrel, the Pinot Gris and Rosé are already getting ready for bottling! These two wines are bright and crisp and serve as a nice reminder that winter only lasts so long, and springtime is soon around the corner. Tasting these wines makes me think about what I’ll plant in the garden this spring. Each sip is full of fresh acid, light florals, and sweet citrus notes.
