Production
The 2023 California growing season began with abundant winter rains, revitalizing soils after years of drought. Cool spring temperatures delayed ripening by two to four weeks. Harvest started on September 7th and intensified in late September with warmer weather, alternating heat waves, and cooling trends. October’s warmth helped achieve optimal ripeness and maturity. Harvest wrapped up on November 9th. The extended season resulted in red wines with depth, texture, and rich color, while white wines displayed delicate aromatics, vibrant acidity, and balanced structure, making 2023 a remarkable vintage of exceptional quality.
